Got a bad spell of vertigo while lying in bed, so I put one foot over the edge to have it flat on the floor. The dizziness got better in short order. How and why does this happen?

It allows blood from your legs to travel to your torso /head which relieves dizziness, you’ve essentially made a little downhill. If possible geet your legs up on a chair or something to help with dizziness then correct what is causing it, low blood sugar, dehydration, overheating etc
