Three minutes, to let the refrigerant to settle down and save the compressor from starting against high back pressure.
Two possible considerations.
The oil in the crankcase of the compressor has a Saybolt weight between 150-300.
It can run into the suction line and upper portions of the compressor.
Some refrigerant is always in a liquid state (in compression systems) and this can also travel toward the compressor.
Tipping should be avoided.
Waiting a few minutes to restart doesn't hurt.
There is no reason to wait.
