The importance of insomnia prayers

Asking Allah Almighty through the insomnia prayer when facing difficulties in falling asleep is one of the greatest acts of worship that reflects a Muslim's sincere reliance on his Lord. Reciting this prayer gives the heart peace and tranquility, and expels Satan's whispers and negative thoughts that worry the sleeper. Remembering God in the dead of night strengthens the connection with the Creator, brings God's mercy and protection, prepares the soul for a peaceful and restful sleep, and turns the time of anxiety and sleeplessness into a great opportunity to get rewarded and get closer to God.

Recommended times and situations to say the prayer for insomnia

When tossing and turning in bed at night and feeling unable to sleep.
After suddenly waking up from sleep and not being able to go back to sleep (night sweats).
When feeling panic, anxiety, or psychological tension that precedes and prevents sleep.
After performing two rak'ahs of night qiyam for those who woke up and could not sleep, so that their prayers are more likely to be accepted.
After completing the pre-bedtime dhikr, so that the last words of the day will be the remembrance of Allah Almighty.
