Subtle effect of sleeping on the left side
The Kundalini is the inherent spiritual energy system in the body. It
consists of 7 main centres or chakras, 3 main channels - the Sun Channel
(Right channel or Pingala-nadi), the Moon channel (Left channel or
Ida-nadi) and Central channel (Sushumna-nadi) and innumerable ducts and
ductules.
The energy for the bodily and mental functions flows
through the Sun and Moon Channels. The energy flowing through the
Central Channel (Sushumna-nadi) is related to spiritual growth.
The Sun Channel (Pingala-nadi) is Raja predominant, whereas the Moon
Channel (Ida) is Sattva predominant. The energy flows alternately
through the Ida and Pingala. This shift happens every 3-4 minutes. Even
though the energy flow changes so often, as the Ida and Pingala cross
sides across the body, both parts of the body receive adequate energy of
each type. This maintains a balance between the 2 types of energy
flows.
When a person sleeps on the left side, the Sun channel is activated.
When the Sun or Moon channels are activated, the chetana in the body
cells remains activated. As a result, there is a lower level of the
subtle basic Tama component generated and the chetana also helps fight
the attacks from ghosts.
Thus it is recommended for most people to sleep on their sides.

Why do we need so much chetana when we sleep anyway?
