Among the waking up azkar is this one specifically for someone who wakes in the middle of the night. It is reported that whoever says it upon stirring from sleep and then makes a supplication will have it answered, and if he then performs wudu and prays, his prayer is accepted. It is a valuable opportunity for anyone who wakes at night.
La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadeer. Alhamdulillah, wa subhanallah, wa la ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. Then say: Rabbigh-fir li.
