The Sunnah
When the Prophet ﷺ went to bed, he would say: "Bismika Allahumma amutu wa ahya (In Your name, O Allah, I die and I live)," and when he woke he would say: "Alhamdulillahil-ladhi ahyana ba‘da ma amatana wa ilayhin-nushur (Praise is to Allah who gave us life after causing us to die, and to Him is the resurrection)."
