Scientists say that sleeping on the left side is not favored, as the heart would be under the pressure of the right lung, the biggest of the two lungs, and this would affect its contraction especially if the person is old. Also they assure that the full stomach which itself is under the pressure of the heaviest organ in the digestive tract, the liver, which delays its emptying, would also impose a pressure on the heart.Hence they advise people to sleep on the right side especially for patients by any heart disease.
Prophet Mohamed (peace be upon him) advised us 1400 years ago to start our sleeping mode on the right side.
Imam shafi states that there are 4 types of sleeps:
To lie on the back-this is the sleep of the Prophets.
To sleep on the right side-this is the sleep of the worshippers (us!).
To sleep on the left side-this is the sleep of the ruler.
To sleep on the stomach-this is the sleep of the devil.
[related by Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood]

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the best example for us all to follow for all time.Glory to Allaah! Who told our Prophet this medical advice.
