I would always defer to your personal surgeon’s recommendations, however it should be okay as long as you are wearing an eye shield while sleeping for the first week after surgery.
You should be asking your surgeon all post op questions pertinent to your individual circumstance
Be sure to wear your protective eye shields when sleeping for the first couple of weeks. After the first couple of nights, you can sleep on your side; you should avoid sleeping on your side the first couple of nights because it will put pressure on your eye when the flap is not yet
sealed at the edges and could possibly be moved. After a few days, you should be okay to sleep on your side, but don't rub your eyes. Hope this helps.
