Rav Berland’s prayer to get a good night’s sleep – transliterated
I was talking to my friend who has been having major problems falling asleep, and staying asleep, recently, due to the ‘matzav’.
She told me that a few days ago, she found this prayer by Rav Berland to have a good night’s sleep and since she’s been saying it, she’s been sleeping so much better.
I asked her to send it to me so I can stick it up, and here it is:

Now usually, I translate these prayers into English, and I started doing that here, too – when I realised that most of the prayer is kabbalistic terms and words that are untranslatable into English.
Here’s where I got to:
Rav Berland’s Prayer to Fall Asleep Easily – 563
To merit to fall asleep immediately, and to enjoy deep, healthy sleep, and to make do with a little sleep, and to know that Ein Od Milvado, and that the kingship of David will rule and be established forever
‘A good night’s sleep’
Ribonu Shel Olam, who can do everything,
Give me the merit to fall asleep immediately, and to dream dreams that only come via the hands of angels.
==
So this time, I thought it would be more useful just to transliterate the words, so anyone can recite them, and be saying the ‘Hebrew’ prayer, and BH, it will work to help people have a better night’s sleep.
BH, here in Jerusalem I didn’t hear any sirens all night, and my phone is switched off so the HFC can’t ruin my sleep with fear-mongering instructions that really don’t seem to have any other purpose, except to ‘monger fear’.
But I know a lot of people had sirens yesterday night, so BH, this will help:

Oooo-er, even doing this transliteration just took me an hour….
I think it must be a super-powerful prayer, that’s not meant to be ‘understood’ so much by the reader, but is more to work the open miracle of giving whoever says it enough restful, good sleep to carry on functioning like a human being.
So, give it a try, I hope it works for you.

Also, God has arranged things that I currently have no internet access at home, so I really have no idea what is going on.
I am coming into my husband’s office to upload this stuff, as the libraries are all closed, and I haven’t yet found a coffee shop that could do the job, while I’m adjusting to the new ‘unreal’ reality of what is going on here.
But you know what?

a few drinks and turning off cellfone(preceeded by tehillim) also helps!
bs”d Many thanks dear Rivka for your work. It’s helping with our sleep!
