Hadith on Dua: Supplication for bedtime, waking up

Abu Dharr reported: When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would go to sleep at night, he would say, “In Your name we die and we live.” When the Prophet woke up, he would say, “All praise is due to Allah, who has given us life after our death, and unto Him is the Resurrection.”

عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ بِاسْمِكَ نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ
