Sleep is called the minor death in the Quran (39:42), so the first words on waking thank Allah for returning the soul.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ
Al-ḥamdu lillāhil-ladhī aḥyānā baʿda mā amātanā wa ilayhin-nushūr
All praise is for Allah, who gave us life after He caused us to die, and to Him is the return.
Sahih al-Bukhari 6324
