There is no authentic hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) which would indicate that the one who recites the last 10 verses of Surah Al ‘Imran will have recorded for him the reward of spending the night in worship.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) told us how to protect ourselves from nightmares by reciting verses from the Quran and du’as narrated from him before going to sleep.

Sleeping after `Asr is not discouraged and the Hadith that reads: “Whoever sleeps after `Asr and loses his mind, let him blame no one but himself.” was classed as inauthentic by Shaykh Al-Albani.

There is nothing wrong with a Muslim listening to Quran before he sleeps, or listening to a lecture or anything permissible. Listening to Quran before going to sleep and after, during Ramadan and at other times, instills tranquility in the heart and helps one relax.
