It is Shubh Ratri in Sanskrit and most Indian languages. It is wishing you a Good night's sleep, probably because people realized the importance of good sleep in shaping the next day!

Good night is simply a wish or an invocation that the person you are addressing should "[Have a] good night!".
Over time, the expression "May you have a good night" has been shortened to "Good night!"
