thereThere is no obligatory rule about this. but in Shia Fiqh there is two different type sleeping direction. one is for a Muslim who is in dying situation (Muhtazar) (some minutes before death) which his feet should be extended towards the Kabah.

andAnd other is for sleeping that it is recommended to sleep so that the direction of body is 90 degree with direction of Kaaba and also the face be toward Kaaba.

butBut generally it is recommended to never a Muslim Pointing his feet towards any direction. and the reason said by shia scholars is that all the world is witnessed by God and God is watching us and we are in front of God (not means physically. butBut like two who meet) and this is derogatory and is not suitable for who God is watching him.

soSo shia scholars never extend their leg in any direction. butBut this is not obligatory.

alsoAlso for who is in dying situation it is needed to his leg be extended. it said by some who witnessed death of some scholars that when their family extended their leg before death he said: oh! how much is it comfortable to extend feet!

anywayAnyway it is only for respect to God who is watching us but is not obligatory.
