There is a monastic tradition of dividing the evening rule into 2 parts. The first takes place after the meal. The remaining prayers (located after dismissal) are performed immediately before going to bed.
If bedtime begins after the evening prayers, then the prayers from “It is worthy to eat...” up to and including dismissal should be moved to the end.
Also: It is worthy to truly bless You, the Mother of God, the Ever-Blessed and Most Immaculate and the Mother of our God. We magnify Thee, the most honorable Cherub and the most glorious without comparison, the Seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word without corruption.
It further reads: It is worthy to truly glorify You, the Mother of God, eternally blessed and immaculate and Mother of our God. With the highest honor of the Cherubim and incomparably more glorious than the Seraphim, who virginally gave birth to God the Word, the true Mother of God - We magnify You.
Glory, and now: Lord, have mercy, Three times. Lord bless and dismiss:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, our reverend and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, save me, a sinner.
And the final prayers, or, if the evening rule is combined with Little Compline, the end of the latter.
When you read Compline at home, after the dismissal, instead of forgiveness and the final litany, read the following prayers:

Just before going to bed, pointing to your bed, read:
Master, Lover of Mankind, will this coffin really be my bed, or will you still enlighten my damned soul during the day? For seven the grave lies ahead, for seven death awaits. I fear Your judgment, Lord, and endless torment, but I do not stop doing evil: I always anger Your Lord my God, and Your Most Pure Mother, and all the heavenly powers, and my holy guardian angel. We know, Lord, that I am unworthy of Your love for mankind, but I am worthy of all condemnation and torment. But, Lord, either I want it or I don’t want it, save me. If you save the righteous, nothing great; and even if You have pure mercy, nothing is marvelous: for you are worthy of Your mercy. But on me, a sinner, surprise Thy mercy: for this show Thy love for mankind, so that my malice may not overcome Thy ineffable goodness and mercy: and as You will, arrange a thing for me.

I always anger You, my Lord and God, and Your Most Pure Mother, and all the Heavenly Powers, and the holy Angel, my guardian.

But on me, a sinner, show Your wondrous mercy, in that show Your love for mankind, so that my malice does not overcome Your ineffable goodness and mercy, and do as You want with me.

Also kiss your Cross, spread it over your bed and all directions of the world, saying:
May God rise again, and may His enemies be scattered, and may those who hate Him flee from His presence. Like smoke disappears, let them disappear; As wax melts in the presence of fire, so let demons perish on behalf of those who love God and sign themselves with the sign of the cross, and say in joy: Rejoice, Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross Lord, drive away the demons by the power of our drunken Lord Jesus Christ, who descended into hell and trampled upon the power of the devil, and who gave us His Honest Cross to drive out everyone adversary. Oh, Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Virgin Mary and with all the saints forever. Amen.

O venerable and life-giving Cross of the Lord, help me with the holy Lady, the Virgin Mother of God and with all the saints forever. Amen.
Or: Protect me, Lord, by the power of Your Honest and Life-giving Cross, and save me from all evil.
Or briefly: Protect me, Lord, by the power of the sacred and life-giving Cross and save me from all evil.
When you go to sleep, say: In your hands, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, I commend my spirit: bless me, have mercy on me, and grant me eternal life. Amen.
