We normally say to my right and to my left.
If something is located to my top or bottom how would I say that? Say, I am lying on the floor, to my right there is a wall, to my left there is a desk* and to my top/bottom? Should we use top and bottom or is there a better way of saying this?

If you are lying down, "above" and "below" continue to be with respect to gravity.
Hence, when you're lying down, the ground is below you, and the sky is above you.
You might refer to things "at your feet" or "behind your head".
