'If you lay down (to sleep) make wudhu as you would for prayer.' (Bukhari)
*It is of the guidance of the Prophet () that one shakes his bedding from the inside for he does not know what may have rested upon it. The Prophet () said:
'When one of you retires to his bed, then let him dust off his bed with the side of his lower garment, for indeed, he does not know what came on it after he left it [the last time].' (Muslim)
*One should sleep on his right side. He should place his right cheek on his right hand. Al-Bara b. Azib () said that the Messenger of Allah () said:
'When you go to your bed, perform the same ablution that you perform for prayer and then lie down on your right side.' (Muslim)
*One should recite the supplications specific to sleeping, such as:
-The recitation of Ayatul Kursi (verse #255). One should also recite the last three Surahs of the Qur'an and blow into his hands and wipe whatever he can of himself. One should also recite Surah al-Kafiroon.
*One should remember Allah when getting up from a nightmare, or when having trouble sleeping.

'A'oodthu be'ka'le'maatil'laahit'taam'maat min ghada'be-he wa shar'ree e'baa'de'he wa min hamazaat ash-sha'yaa'teen wa an yah'do'roon.'
Meaning: I take refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His anger and punishment, and from the evil of His slaves, and from the madness and appearance of devils.
One should not sleep on his stomach. It was reported that the Messenger of Allah () passed by Abu Dharr () while he was lying on his stomach and he kicked him and said:
