Oh, laying around, relaxing, getting good sleep, are all healthy things to do. What will mess you up is contorting your body while you type, which includes laying down, propping your feet up on the desk, or just generally not sitting comfortably. Typing is already pretty weird and unnatural for the body, so you just want to reduce the stress on it as much as possible while you work. Same goes for playing guitar, sewing, drawing, writing, anything that involves lots of tiny motions and focus. It's these activities that tend to turn off your awareness of your body and make it so you don't notice you're hurting it. Also, definitely take some yoga and focus on meditation. It'll help you a lot, more than you know. Finally, very few people on here are rock stars. Don't let their blowhard attitude make you think they're so damn awesome because the truth is, human aptitude is a power curve, not a normal curve, and 99% of people doing anything suck because of it. Myself included. Edit: And you're welcome. :-)
