Can certain body postures boost creativity?

A study by Dr. Lipnicki- published in Cognitive Brain Research- suggests that you can boost creativity by lying flat.

20 people were asked to solve anagrams either lying down or standing up.  Since anagram answers frequently come in a flash of insight-i.e. a creative breakthrough - they were thought to be a good test of creativity.

The average time to solve the anagram was significantly less while lying down.
