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.

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"
