Many Surahs in the Quran are believed to promote relaxation and tranquility, aiding sleep. While there's no single definitive answer, several are frequently recommended.
Popular Choices for Peaceful Sleep

Important Considerations
While these Surahs are often associated with promoting relaxation and sleep, the effect is subjective and depends on individual experiences and beliefs. The calming effect often comes from the rhythmic recitation and the peaceful message of the Quran itself. Additionally, maintaining a consistent bedtime routine, including performing Wudu (ablution), can further contribute to better sleep.
