Potential household hazards that threaten children’s lives are everywhere. They lurk in the kitchen, the bathroom and the playroom. They come in different shapes, colours and sizes, and they can creep up on children even when parents are at home. These threats can be poisonous substances, unguarded stairwells, or balconies made accessible due to open doors and windows.

Children should know how to dial 911, and what to do in case of a fire,” he explains. “Other rules should be in place in case someone phones, or comes to the door. Children shouldn’t answer the door, and if someone calls, it’s wise to say that their mom or dad is in the shower or unavailable at the moment.”

In this sentence, would I use "laid" or "lain"?

The sentence is, "Have you ever lain for hours in your bed, trying to write a beautiful poem that would describe exactly how you were feeling at that exact point in time?"

Which would it be? As you can see, I've used lain, but it doesn't sound right to me... Is it?

Thanks for your help!
