Falling asleep in prayer is no problem. You can rest in God’s presence. Besides, next to the heart of God is a good place, a safe place, for sleeping. (Richard Foster)
We are silent at the beginning of the day because God should have the first word. And we are silent before going to sleep because the last word also belongs to God. (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
Sleep is like a broken record that comes around with the same message everyday: "Man is not sovereign...Man is not sovereign...Man is not sovereign..." Don't let the lesson be lost on you. God is not so nearly impressed with our late nights and early mornings as He is is with the peaceful trust that casts all anxieties on Him and sleeps. (John Piper)
