Chapter: What to say when going to bed
Al-Adab al-Mufrad 1208 — What to say when going to bed
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ الأَحْوَلُ، عَنْ شُمَيْطٍ، أَوْ سُمَيْطٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: النَّوْمُ عِنْدَ الذِّكْرِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، إِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَجَرِّبُوا، إِذَا أَخَذَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَضْجَعَهُ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَنَامَ فَلْيَذْكُرِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that sleep during the time of remembrance is from Satan. If you wish, you may try it. When any of you goes to bed and intends to sleep, he should remember Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.

Benefits and Issues:
The point is that after finishing work and when intending to sleep, one should recite the supplications (adhkar) for sleeping at that time. Shaytan generally makes a person heedless of the remembrance of Allah in such a way that when a person intends to recite the adhkar, he immediately falls asleep.
