sweet dreamsOne should recite the following duaa before going to sleep

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِى اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِى ذَنْبِى وَأَخْسِئْ شَيْطَانِى وَفُكَّ رِهَانِى وَاجْعَلْنِى فِى النَّدِىِّ الأَعْلَى

In the name of Allah Ta’ala have I placed  my side down (i.e. I have lay down to sleep), O Allah, forgive my sins, repel my shaytaan from me, and free me (from my burdens and worries), and make me amongst the exalted gathering of servants.

عن أبى الأزهر الأنمارى أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان إذا أخذ مضجعه من الليل قال:  بسم الله وضعت جنبى اللهم اغفر لى ذنبى وأخسئ شيطانى وفك رهانى واجعلنى فى الندى الأعلى (ابو داود رقم 5056)
