Answer 1

you can do that as well...there is no set position..you need to be in whatever position you can be relaxed in. Crossed legged, kneeling,sitting or laying down

Answer 2

You can lie down.  But it's very easy to fall asleep the point of meditation is to be aware.  So if you are asleep you are not aware.
