Sleeping on your right side facing southeast (if in America) is the best for your health.
Why not on your stomach?
The weight of your back will restrict your lung expansion and shrinkage during normal breathing process, and that might lead to shortness of breath.
Why not on your back?
When you lay on your back, your lower jaw will drop down, opening your mouth. Result: breathing through your mouth, which will further lead to dryness of the mouth, snoring, & bad breath. This position is also not good for spinal column.
Why not on your left side?
Sleeping on your left side will put the heart under the right lung pressure (the biggest), the stomach, and the liver (heaviest organ) which may affect the heart's performance, especially in geriatrics.
And this position is not recommended especially after meals, as the pressure caused by the liver on the stomach will delay stomach-emptying time (2.5-4.5 hrs on right side compared to 5-8 hrs on left side).
Why on your right?
Left lung is smaller than the right. Sleeping on your right will reduce the pressure on the heart; the liver will be stable in its place; the stomach will be placed on the liver with no other organ on top so faster emptying time and less GI problems. Also, this position will lead to increased mucus discharge through the left principal bronchus as it will incline downward to the trachea in this position (the left principal bronchus is straight in shape that's why sleeping on left will prevent the discharge of mucus, but the right principal bronchus is already inclined so sleep position has no effect on its performance).
Why facing southeast?
I really don't know, but maybe something related to earth's magnetic field, as south east of America is centre of earth.

It can cause lines to form under the eyes from your face sqaushing into the pillow.
