If the episiotomy is given properly then you can sleep in any position, it should not make any difference. Most of the trouble starts if the episiotomy is not planned properly. Washing of the area with warm diluted antiseptic lotion ( betadine, dettol, savlon) after each visit to toilet , and local application of betadine or metrogyl or soframycin ointment twice a day is adequate.
