from daily halacha
It is beneficial for one to first sleep on one's left side and then
to switch to one's right side {because the liver is on the right side
and it will lean on and warm the stomach, helping for food to digest.
Then, one should turn to lie on the right side so that the digested
food will more easily pass out of the stomach.} One should also not
turn from side to side during the night. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 71:5,
Rambam Hilchos De'os 4
