Answer
Wa’alaykum as Salam wa rahamtullahi wa barakatuhu,
A person gets rewarded based on his intentions. Before doing any action, make the correct intention. The more intentions that a person make, the more reward he will get. For example, before sleeping make the following intentions:
O Allah, I am sleeping so that I can stay away from sin,
O Allah, I am sleeping because my body has a right over me.
O Allah, I am sleeping so that I get strength to worship You,
O Allah, I am sleeping so that I can get strength to earn Halal.
In this way, a person should think of as many intentions as possible.
He good do the same for all other actions, and he will be rewarded.

إنما الأعمال بالنيات ، وإنما لكل امرىء ما نوى ، فمن كانت هجرته إلى الله ورسوله ، فهجرته إلى الله ورسوله ، ومن كانت هجرته لدنيا يصيبها ، أو امرأة ينكحها ، فهجرته إلى ما هاجر إليه . (متفق عليه)
فمتى حضره شيء من هذه النيات فالجهر أفضل وإن اجتمعت هذه النيات تضاعف الأجر وبكثرة النيات تزكو أعمال الأبرار وتتضاعف أجورهم فإن كان في العمل الواحد عشر نيات كان فيه عشر أجور (إحياء علوم الدين – 2 / 41)
