    Simply has to do with how the nose rotates which side breathes more to lax the workload essentially. It does this by constricting air flow from one side at a time, when you are on your side you are just manually switching it, if you were sitting up however, the air would switch on a timer as your body will go back and forth to give one side rest and the other side some time to work.
