This is a normal post You're sleeping in the garden, and laying upon a bed
Latin's a piece of piss sometimes

Sedet, as in our word 'sedate', so sitting
Horto, as in our word 'horticulture', so garden
recumbit, as in our word 'recumbent', so reclining or laying down
I guess 'in lecto' is tough as we don't really have an English common word equivalent that I know of, except 'lair', but that is quite a corruption in both meaning and spelling. In Italian, French and Spanish they use letto, lit and lecho respectively for bed, so you can kind of see the thought process when people say that learning Latin makes you accidentally learn like four other languages.
