Allergic rhinitis?: This sounds like allergy, even though you've had no previous allergic problems. Allergies have to start sometime. Lying down and/or internet surfing themselves can't do this, but maybe there's something in your environment you're allergic to. See a doctor if the problem continues. Good luck.
