An abnormal fear of lying down, reclining, or being in bed.
From Greek 'klīnē' (bed) and 'phobos' (fear). The term developed in medical psychology to describe a specific anxiety disorder related to bed-related activities or positions.
Clinophobia is rare but real—some people experience such intense panic about lying down that they struggle to sleep or rest, and doctors have to teach them gradual relaxation techniques.
