Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

 

I pray to Allah to shower your baby with His mercy and heal him and cure him of this condition.

 

If sleep deprivation is due to physical causes, it should be diagnosed and treated by referring to the professionals in the field. At the same time, one should complement such treatment with spiritual healing, which you can achieve by turning to Allah, the Creator of sleep, for assistance.

 

The Prophet, peace be upon him, advised us all to go to bed in a state of purity and to read the last three surahs (chapters) of the Qur’an (i.e., 112, 113, 114), followed by du’a of sleep.

 

So you should read these verses and blow into your hands and wipe over his face and body. You may follow it up with another du’a which I have inferred from the Prophet’s advice to one of his companions:

 

Allaahumma ghaarat al-nnujum, wa hada’at al-uyun wa anta hayyun qayyoom, laa ta’khudhuka sinatun wa laa nawm; ihdi laylalahu wa anim ‘aynahu

 

(O Allah, stars have set, eyes have rested, You alone are the Ever-Alive, and the Self-Subsisting Source of all beings; neither slumber nor sleep overtakes You. Make the night comforting for my son, and bring rest unto his eyes.)

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
