The question

When are the invocations (adhkar) for sleep and waking recited? And are the sleep invocations repeated with each instance of sleep, and the waking invocations with each instance of temporary waking, or are they recited once at the main sleep and once at the full awakening? What is the ruling on these actions according to the scholars' sayings?

The answer

Supplications for sleep are recited when sleeping at night or during the day, except for those specifically restricted to the night, such as "Ayat al-Kursi" and the "last two verses of Surat al-Baqarah."

If a person sleeps at the beginning of the night and then wakes up desiring to sleep again, they do not repeat the sleep supplications.

Supplications for waking up are recited upon waking from sleep, whether at night or during the day, except for those specifically designated for the night.
