night prayer

Evening spiritual practice

Night prayer is a prayer said before sleep, common across religious traditions.

In Christianity, it often refers to Compline, the final service of the Liturgical Hours: The monks gathered in the chapel for night prayer.

More broadly, any devotional prayer ending the day: She taught her children a simple night prayer.
