Dua before sleeping — submitting to Allah upon the fitrah
Before you go to bed perform ablutions as you would for prayer, then lie down on your right side and supplicate:
اللَّهُـمَّ أَسْـلَمْـتُ نَفْسِـي إِلَـيْـكَ، وَفَـوَّضْـتُ أَمْـرِي إِلَـيْـكَ، وَوَجَّـهْـتُ وَجْهِـي إِلَـيْـكَ، وَأَلْـجَـأْتُ ظَهْـرِي إِلَـيْـكَ، رَغْـبَـةً وَرَهْـبَةً إِلَـيْـكَ، لَـا مَلْـجَـأَ وَلَا مَنْـجَـا مِنْـكَ إِلَّا إِلَـيْـكَ، آمَـنْـتُ بِـكِـتَـابِـكَ الَّـذِي أَنْـزَلْـتَ وَبِـنَـبِـيِّـكَ الَّـذِي أَرْسَـلْـتَ
Allāhumma aslamtu nafsī ilayk, wa fawwaḍtu amrī ilayk, wa wajjahtu wajhī ilayk, wa alja’tu ẓahrī ilayk, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilayk, lā malja’a wa lā manjā minka illā ilayk, āmantu bikitābika lladhī anzalt, wa binabiyyika lladhī arsalt.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever says this and dies in his sleep, has died in a state of the natural monotheism (Fitrah)."
Translation
O Allah, I submit my soul unto You, and I entrust my affair unto You, and I turn my face towards You, and I totally rely on You, in hope and fear of You. Verily there is no refuge nor safe haven from You except with You. I believe in Your Book which You have revealed and in Your Prophet (ﷺ) whom You have sent.
When to recite
Before going to sleep, as the last words spoken.
