The answer

It is part of the perfection of faith to guide a Muslim towards all good and warn him against all evil. Sleep is a blessing from Allah, and the Sunnah has clarified the etiquettes of sleeping: A Muslim should sleep on his right side, remembering Allah. It is permissible to sleep on one's back, whereas sleeping on the stomach is prohibited. There is no harm in sleeping on a bed with one's feet facing the Qiblah; rather, some imams considered it preferable for the infirm during prayer. What is prohibited is facing or turning one's back to the Qiblah when relieving oneself in an open space.
