I agree, “lie down” never sat well with me either. What would you change it too?

Better than Amerimutt solecism "lay"

I get you. I always get caught up when I read someone "lay" described as in the past. I find it difficult to imagine it being about someone having lay down as opposed to someone currently laying themselves down, you know what I mean? It's one of those words that always makes me stop reading for a couple of seconds to think about how wrong it feels to read and then having to accept that I'm the one at fault in this situation.

In Old Norse you have the verb liggja and leggja and afaik neither mean to lie as in to say something that isn't true knowing that it isn't true

The image admits that difficulty falling asleep will result in daytime drowsiness yet obviously attributes to screen usage and lighting. Removing these fails to resolve insomnia. The lifestyle change advice is pseudoscience and does not fix the situation. Exogenous stressors, individuals, noises play a much larger role but not being idiosyncratic quirks to the patient and within his/her control are ignored from consideration. Ultimately this is all one big elaborate cope to deny pharmacotherapy of insomnia which actually solves the captioned dilemma.

*having lain down
(and just say lying down instead of reflexive laying, like yeah it's not wrong reflexively but thence's the confusion and then you morons go about it unreflexively intransitively, while it could be all so simple)

An inevitable eccentricity of this ramshackle language.
