Sleep is not only physical rest but also a moment when the mind and emotions slow down. At the end of the day, people often carry stress, thoughts, and emotional fatigue into the night. A dua before falling asleep helps create calmness and emotional release.
Modern life makes it difficult for many people to mentally relax before sleep. Stress, screens, and constant thinking can make falling asleep harder. A simple prayer before sleep helps slow down the mind and prepare the body for rest.
This practice creates both spiritual and emotional comfort.
