Ha! If I turn the ceiling fan on high, it might be necessary. If I were to sit straight up is that detrimental to my stroke and form that could hurt me in the long run?

Sitting up might screw up your center of balance and make you more likely to fall off your trainer 
thus undoing all the good you are doing for your spine. Fore/Aft will work different muscles so you might vary your position based on that

I went through that last year after my L5-S1 fusion, but I didn't have a trainer and couldn't afford one. I had to do a lot of walking. In the spring, I finally just quit asking my orthopedic surgeon if I could ride yet, about the time he stopped telling me I couldn't lift more than 20 lbs. He didn't mention it, so I started riding.
My suggestion: get a cute partner on another trainer and position the trainers so you can draft her.

I use TV or movies to distract me from the boredom of riding my bicycle nowhere.
I find action and/or comedy work well. Drama, not so much. Shows that work for me: Futurama, South Park, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, La Femme Nikita. And, surprisingly, Glee makes 45 minutes seem like nothing.
