Yes, you can safely go to bed while your iPhone is updating. If you have automatic updates turned on, your iPhone will try to install updates overnight while your iPhone knows you won't be using it. Make sure your iPhone is connected to its charger while updating.

If you wake up and your iPhone still shows an Apple logo with a progress bar, try force restarting your iPhone. If this doesn't resolve your issue, Contact Apple Support for more help.
