lying = telling a lie
And there's only one "z" in "Nazi"

Well first of all " I have" should have came before "been"

"Lying in bed" is correct, not "laying in bed".

"Lying in bed" is the correct way.

English can be weird sometimes, one word can have a lot of meanings or sound almost exactly.
Three and Tree
But I like that they don't use this á, é, í, ó and ú.
And have less letters, they don't have ñ.

Past tense : I Lay in bed
Present tense : I'm lying in bed

It would be "been laying in bed all day." It's the imperfect tense of the verb "to lie (down)".

No, but I'm too tired to care
And I change my mind, I think it's "been lying in bed all day," the past progressive tense.
