As for sleeping and waking up
He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, slept on his right side, while mentioning Allah and without being full of food or drink. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, would place his hand under his head and say:
“O Allah! Protect me from Your torment on the day You resurrect Your servants.”
He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, woke up upon hearing the caller for prayer. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, would praise Allah, glorify Him, and supplicate to Him. Then he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to brush his teeth with a Siwaak (tooth stick used to clean the teeth), perform ablution and pray. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, constantly communicated with his Lord, praising Him and demonstrating fear and hope. Sometimes he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, would sleep on a mattress, and sometimes on the floor, on mats made from straw or on his bed.
