Great sentence! It is mostly correct. Here are a couple of small tips to make it even better in general writing:

  • Start with a capital letter: You already did this with "You" — good job!
  • The comma and "but": Using a comma before "but" is correct when you join two ideas like this.
  • "a branch" or "branches": If you mean sloths hang from any branch, use "branches" (plural). If you mean one specific branch, "a branch" is okay. Many people say "branches" because it is more general.
  • "hanging" explains how they sleep: That word is correct — it tells us what the sloths are doing while sleeping.
  • End punctuation: The exclamation mark (!) is fine if you want the sentence to sound excited. A period (.) is also okay if you want it calm.

Corrected (a bit more general):
You sleep in your bed, but sloths sleep upside down, hanging from branches like little hammocks!

Simpler versions for reading aloud:

  • You sleep in your bed. Sloths sleep upside down on branches like little hammocks.
  • You sleep in your bed, but sloths sleep upside down on branches.

Nice work — your sentence was already clear and fun!
