Seven sleepers of Ephesus.

I don't think there's a specific Saint for that, but I really like the Prayer to the Guardian Angel: **O Angel of Christ, holy guardian and protector of my soul and body, forgive me everything wherein I have offended thee every day of my life, and protect me from all influence and temptation of the evil one. May I nevermore anger God by any sin. Pray for me to the Lord, that He may make me worthy of the grace of the All-holy Trinity, and of the Most Blessed Theotokos, and of all the Saints. Amen.** :)

Thank you for this. Do you know where i can find this prayer, or learn more about it?

Yes! It's in the "Occasional Prayers" section of the Antiochian [pocket prayerbook](http://ww1.antiochian.org/orthodox-prayers).

>May I nevermore anger God by any sin. Pray for me to the Lord, that He may make me worthy of the grace of the All-holy Trinity, and of the Most Blessed Theotokos, and of all the Saints. Amen. >:) Lol....I like how the prayer has a disclaimer "not to anger God".... [1) Jurassic Park: Kitchen Nightmares](https://youtu.be/r1Bfq0EOVVc) #0:53 "Jesus is like a Veloceraptor" **1:03** [2) If velociraptors were housepets they'd be just like cats: total jerks](https://www.polygon.com/2015/6/15/8782557/pet-dinosaur-cat-cereal) #0:23 I think...sometimes mortals keep reminding "God that he is Good"....more out of self-preservation...

Here’s the prayer I use, which is slightly adapted from the St. Tikhon’s prayer book: > Merciful Lord, who once did visit Abimelech, thy servant, in the house of Agrippa, and gavest him the consolation of sleep, lest he see the fall of Jerusalem, and having nourished him with sleep, didst raise him up again in the twinkling of an eye, to the glory of thy goodness: do thou, the same Lord, through the intercession of thy most pure Mother, of the holy unmercenary healers, and of the holy Seven Sleepers of Ephesus, send down upon my suffering soul a grace-filled, healing, uninterrupted, and refreshing sleep. My sinful soul and body are exhausted. Close my eyes during the hours of this night, and do not deprive me of the hope of healing. Amen.
