Dizziness is generally relieved, not exacerbated, by lying down. However, if you have a condition called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, you are going to battle dizziness while lying in bed. (BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images).
This nystagmus and perception of vertigo will slow down and cease after 15 to 20 seconds. If the head is not moved, no further symptoms will occur. When the patient sits back up, the dizziness will recur, but for a shorter period of time. Lying down on the opposite side will not cause the vertigo.
