At the end of the day, a person carries not only physical fatigue but also mental and emotional weight. Thoughts, decisions, and experiences accumulate and often continue into the night. A dua before sleeping helps release this weight and prepares the mind for rest.
Sleep is a state of letting go. Reciting a prayer before sleep reflects trust and surrender. It allows a person to leave behind the day and enter the night with calmness.
Many people go to bed with an active mind, which affects sleep quality. A short prayer helps slow down thoughts and bring inner peace.
