Question : is laying worse than sitting?

  An answer to this would be great... I'm extremely curious myself

    To be fair a quick google search points at various similar answers. Apparently, with prolonged sitting the problem is not so much the posture, as it is inactivity. Presumably lying may be slightly better as it does not stress the back. Personally I hate sitting and when I really have to I always tend to find the most laid down position possible on whatever chair I'm on.

  Based on my own experience, I'd imagine that laying is hard because of the way you have to twist your neck. But, like others said, it really seems to be more about not moving around.

  In this context, laying 14 hours a day in addition to sleeping ? Yes it's worse than sitting. Only thing worse would be being in zero gravity ;) Exercise, eating, laying flat when not exercising or eating all day is not worse.
