the nostrils have a unique mechanisium to block one or the other.
Right nostril is connected with the pingla nadi also called surya nadi, as the name suggest it heats the body when flow is through this nostril.
left is similarly connected to ida nadi or lunar / chandra nadi this cools the body.
The body regulates the body heat by changing the flow in different nostrils as required automatically. sleeping on the LEFT side will ensure that right nostril will be open thus heat the body
