Khalid bin Waleed [radiallahu `anh] also had trouble sleeping and thus he went to the prophet [salallahu `alayhe wassallam ] who advised him to make the following du`aa:


Quote:
Allahu rabbus samaawaatis sab’I wa maa adh-dhal-lat, wa rabbul ardaynin wa maa aqallat wa rabbush shayaateeni wa maa adallat kulli jaarun min sharri khalqika jamee’un ay yafrata alayya ahadun minhum aw yabghayiii alayya azza jaarukan wa jalla thanaa ooka wa laa ilaaha ghayruka* 1

O Allah you are the Lord of the Seven Heavens and what they shelter, and the two earths and the lives they support. Your power can surely control and restrain the devils who mislead the faithful. Lord, be you my Protector and neighbour. Shelter me from any evil that may spur from Your creation, so that none of them may assail me in my rest, or infringe upon my privacy. Indeed your neighbours are strong and safe in Your Protection. What You command is unassailable. Indeed you alone are God

And Bro Ibn Muhammad says: To be honest this du'a is the only piece of advice thats worked.

SubhanAllah, when this was posted I read it and around 10 pm (or 11pm) that night I felt so sleepy I just couldn't keep my self awake. Even though I had two courseworks to give in the next morning and I wasn't finished. Yet that concern couldn't keep me awake!
