I think it's worth noting that the examples in the article about people like Frida Kahlo involve a higher degree of creativity than most desk jobs demand, and one could reasonably attribute bursts of inspiration to come from the "unusual" aspect of working in a horizontal body position (similar to how people often say they think up ideas more clearly when going on walks) But laying down for extended periods of time is known to cause health problems. In hospitals, bed sores are a well known problem associated with excessive in-bed time. Muscular atrophy is another. It's kinda crazy how just a couple years ago there was a standing desk craze touting the miraculous benefits to muscular/skeletal health, and now we've got a 180 degree turn with a major publication putting out a claim that laying down for extensive amounts of time is somehow a good idea (never mind the whole "sitting is the new smoking" thing!) Geez!
