night prayers

Evening worship ritual

Night prayers are devotional prayers said before sleeping, a practice common across religious traditions.

Christians may recite Compline, the final prayer of the Liturgy of the Hours; Muslims perform Isha, the last of five daily prayers.

The practice marks the transition from waking to sleep with spiritual intention: She never missed her night prayers.
