Unless you're a vampire, normally you'd be asked
How did you sleep last night?
The questioner is wanting to know if your sleep was restful or if it was disturbed in any way.

If he regularly sleeps during the day and is awake at night (e.g. he works the night shift) then one might ask "How did you sleep today?" But we can't really use today in this context without some kind of special justification for it. A typical question might be How was your nap?

many workers sleep at the day because they work at nights. I'd not call them vampires:) Anyway, it means it's correct to say "How did you sleep last night?" meaning about the quality rather than the position. Right?

Absent a context where the discussion centers on sleep position (fetal position, on stomach, on the back) the question How did you sleep? normally is asking whether you slept well.
