My rabbit does that. She lies in the most depressing positions, but it means that they’re happy so its a good thing. The longer it takes your rabbit to get up and run from the position it is lying in, the more comfortable it is. A tense rabbit will sit in a position that lets it run easily (so with all feet on the ground and head up). A relaxed rabbit will stretch out and put its head on the floor. They will also do this when you pet them or when they want you to pet them.

It does look like they’re sad though, so I can understand your concern.
