Hazrat Abu Hurairah narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When any one of you intends to lie down on his bed, he should remove his extra clothes, then thoroughly shake his bed, because he does not know what was on it after him. Then he should lie down on his right side. Then he should recite this supplication: O my Lord, with Your name I lay down my side, and with Your name I rise it up. So if You take my soul, then have mercy on it, and if You release it, then protect it as You protect Your righteous servants.
