The correct phrase to use is "lying on the bed," not "laying on the bed."
This can be a little confusing because "lay" and "lie" are both verbs that describe the act of reclining or resting in a horizontal position.
"Lay" is what's known as a transitive verb, which means it requires an object to act upon. For example, you would say "I am laying the book on the table," because the book is the direct object of the verb "lay".
On the other hand, "lie" is an intransitive verb, which means it does not require an object to act upon. So, when you're talking about yourself, you would say "I am lying on the bed."
To remember the difference between the two, you can think of "lay" as the act of putting something down, while "lie" is the act of reclining or resting.
So, next time you want to describe your position on the bed, make sure you use the correct verb – "lying."
