You can sleep however you can get comfortable without injuring the repair.
Yes, it is okay to sleep on your side or any position in which you feel comfortable after hernia surgery.
It’s ok, as long as it doesn’t cause pain.
Yes that is fine.
It is absolutely OK to sleep on the side of an inguinal hernia, before and after repair. Depending on the technique used, there may or may not be an incision in that region.
Yes, sleeping on the same side as the surgery will not cause any harm.
