A member asked:
Is it uncommon to faint while laying down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can "pass out" laying down but you don't faint. You faint when some stimulus causes a rapid pooling of blood in the veins of your lower body, reducing blood flow to the brain. The mechanics of this process are not present when you are lying down.
