Default Can I safely lay my SV down for the night?

Bloomin' weather. What with these gales predicted tonight I dont want my bike getting blown over again.

I've got the whole sandbag thing going on. One dropped on the sidestand and another draped over the left footrest and gear lever. My theory is that if the wind wants to tip my SV off it's stand, it'll have to lift 40kg of sand as well.

However, with the benefit of the prediction of gales, I'm wondering if it is safe to lay my bike on it's side for the entire night? It sure can't get blown over then!

Will fluids leak during the night? Would I need to leave it upright for a time again before starting to allow oil to seep back to where it should be?

All advice greatly appreciated!
