Why does laying down almost always makes me feel better?

284 viewsBiologyOther

I kind of want to live in a vertical position.

If I’m tired and lay down, I don’t feel that tired anymore. If I’m dizzy and lay down, it helps reduce it because my head feels supported. If I’m in pain and lay down, it helps. If I’m having anxiety and lay down, it eases it much more quickly than just sitting down.

This can be applied to most feelings.

Maybe your fitness is lacking and you feel better when your heart isn’t working so hard. Your cardiovascular system has to work harder against gravity when you are not lying down.

You can get a watch with a pulse meter to measure this.
