Dua for Sleep
اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا
In Your name, O Allah, I live and I die.
Sunan Abi Dawud 1551

According to a hadith recorded by Anas ibn Malik, the Prophet used to recite this dua before going to sleep:
“When you go to bed, perform ablution like that for the prayer, then lie down on your right side and say: ‘Allahumma aslamtu nafsi ilaika wa fawwadtu amri ilaika wa alja’tu dhahri ilaika wa amantu bikitabika al-muqaddas, wa bi nabiyyika al-muhammad. Allahumma inni a’udhu bika min al-kasali wa al-harami wa al-jubni wa al-bukhli. Allahumma inni a’udhu bika min ghalabatidh-dhunubi wa qahrir-rijal.’ (O Allah! I surrender my soul to You, and I entrust my affairs to You. I turn my face towards You, and I rely on Your holy book and Your prophet. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the heavy burdens, from committing sins and from the torment of the grave. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the overpowering of sin and from the oppression of men.) If you die that night, you will die as a believer. So make that the last thing you say.” (Sahih Bukhari)
