There is a Christian bedtime story where I'm from. In the end it says something like "and you'll wake up in the morning if god wants you to". wtf what if god doesn't want me to wake up tomorrow.
the muslims also have an explanation for sleep: "god kills you at night and wakes you up in the morning"
applying simple logic to that would get you mistreated i.e how do you breathe when you're dead?
they have no answer to this

We got a lullaby with that line here in Germany. "Morgen früh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt."
Never heard that one in my life. Maybe a regional thing?
It is, or at least was, one of the most famous German lullabies (Guten Abend, gut' Nacht). The music is from Brahms, wo made it famous. It started as a regional folk poem tho.
Huh, you are right I've heard that quite a lot as a child. Either my family left that out or my memory is faulty. That would not be surprising of course
That's exactly the one I meant.
Then you don't
Basically the Muslim saying "insha'Allah".
Which isn’t specifically about sleep or anything.
I believe it means God willing.
Mashallah is similar and means something like God willed it (made it happen).
Yea insha'Allah is used when you make plans for example. "I'll see you at the cafe at 3 if Allah wants it so"
