It is narrated from ibn e Umar [r.a]
that the Messenger of Allah صل الله عليه وسلم said, “Purify these bodies, and Allah will purify you. Whenever a slave spends his night in a state of purification, an angel spends his night within his (slave’s) hair and he does not turn over during the night except that he [the angel] says: O Allah, forgive Your slave, for he went to sleep in a state of purification.”
[Reported by Tabarani and graded "good" by Sh Al-Albani]
... Lessons from the Hadith

3) Spend night in a state in which angels supplicates for you.
4) Sleeping in a state of wudu/doing your wudu before sleeping is a sunnah of the Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) and is a way of receiving Allah’s Forgiveness.
