You can lay things down, such as tiles on a floor, but if you assume a recumbent position yourself, then you are lying down.
"Lying down" is the act of reclining or resting in a horizontal position, whereas "laying down" refers to the action of placing something down. The correct term to use when referring to placing oneself horizontally is "lying down."
The force exerted by a person on the ground is the same whether they are standing up or laying down, as it is determined by their weight. The only difference is the distribution and contact area of the force between the feet when standing versus the whole body when laying down.
In a way, this is true. If you measure your height before you go to sleep and then again when you wake up after a night of horizontal sleep, you could be as much as an inch taller. Your spine and the disks in your spine recover from the compression you experience during the day.Or if you mean simply lying down flat on the ground, then there can be a difference (by less than 2 inches).
The height difference between night and day is mainly due to changes in posture and spinal fluid distribution. During the day, the spine is compressed due to the force of gravity, resulting in a decrease in height. At night, when lying down, the spine decompresses and some of the fluid between the discs is reabsorbed, leading to a slight increase in height. On average, this height difference can be up to 1-2 cm.
No, this is one of the reasons you are taller in the morning than you are in the evening. When you walk around during the day, gravity pulls and compresses your spine, causing you to shrink. But when you are lying down in bed, gravity isn't compressing your spine because the gravitational pull is perpendicular to the angle of your spine, allowing it to recover.
"Lying down" is the act of reclining or resting in a horizontal position, whereas "laying down" refers to the action of placing something down. The correct term to use when referring to placing oneself horizontally is "lying down."
