    Before you go to sleep you should put on your forehead INRI. This means Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.
    It is said that you will not die in your sleep without anybody knowing.

    As I lay down my head to sleep,
    I give my soul to God to keep,
    Now or never I give my soul to God forever,
    If any evil spirit comes to injure me,
    May the Blessed Virgin Mary
