Op was talking a treestand. Couple things that come to mind right away are firstly the safety aspect. Falling asleep at some time during the night would be a real possibility and even wearing a harness still puts you at risk. If you arent fully conversed on how to get back into the stand while dangling 15 feet in air you could be in big trouble More than one hunter has been found dangling dead while suspended from his safety harness as circulation gets cut off. Having to attempt to get back in at night would only make the procedure more difficult I would think and no one would be around for quick assistance.

Second thing that comes to mind is your scent pooling down to bottom of tree and spreading outward. You are greatly increasing your time in your stand( hunting zone) so also greatly enhancing the opportunity for your scent to saturate your immediate hunting area and alert the animals you want to hunt.
Considering that even putting out 3 or 4 trail camera's in the close vicinity to your stand would give you the same info about game activity without the risk or opportunity to spook animals I'd say its not worth it.
