The manners before sleeping that the Prophet recommended for us to adhere to are:
1. **Ablution** The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: “When you intend to go to bed (to sleep), you should perform ablution as you do for prayer.” (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)
2. **Cleaning the sleeping place** Thick blankets should be fluffed and the sleeping area tidied up with a cloth three times before sleeping, as one does not know what is on it.
3. **Reciting a prayer before sleeping** بِسْمِكَ اللّهُمَّ اَحْيَا وَ بِسْمِكَ اَمُوْتُ “Bismika allahumma ahyaa wa bismika amuut.” “In Your name, O Allah, I live and I die.” (Sahih Bukhari, At-Tauhid: 6845).
4. **Sleeping on the right side** Sleeping on the right side is recommended by the Prophet (ﷺ) as a form of obedience and respect to his teachings.
5. **Reciting the trio of Qul** Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nas.
6. **Engaging in remembrance** Reading Ayat Kursi and Al-Fatihah.
7. **Forgiving those who have wronged you before sleeping.
