A Prayer Before Sleep

Amir al-Muminin (the Commander of the Faithful) (A.S) said: whenever one of you wakes up from sleep, they should say this: 

 لاَ إِلَهَ إِلّاَ اللهُ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ إِلَهِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ وَ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.  

There is no god but Allah, the Alive, the Self-Existent, and He has power over all things. Glorified is the Master of prophets and the God worshiped by the apostles. Glorified is the Master of the Seven Skies and whatever is in them and the Master of the Majestic Throne and all praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of all worlds.
