Tefillah u’Birkas Kohanim 6:10

Women, Canaanite servants and minors are obligated to daven. Anyone who is exempt from reciting Shema is also exempt from Shemoneh Esrei. Everyone accompanying a corpse to the cemetery is exempt from Shemoneh Esrei, even if they are not needed to transport the bier.

Tefillah u’Birkas Kohanim 7:1

When the Sages established Shemoneh Esrei, they instituted other brachos to be recited every day. This chapter lists them.

When a person gets into bed to go to sleep for the night, he says, “Blessed are You, Hashem, our God, King of the universe, Who causes the bonds of sleep to rest on my eyes and causes a person to fall into peaceful slumber and enlightens our eyes. May it be Your will, Hashem, our God, to save me from the evil inclination and from bad occurrences. May I not be troubled by bad dreams or evil thoughts. May my bed be perfect before You and may You raise me up from it to life and peace, and enlighten my eyes so that I not sleep a sleep of death. Blessed are You, Hashem, Who enlightens the whole world with His glory.”
