The way I've heard it said is "work like an Arminian, but sleep like a Calvinist" . . . as it's been stated already, "work like an Arminian" is just a phrase that's meant to guard us against slothfulness disguised as trust in God's sovereignty, and "sleep like a Calvinist" means that we are to rest in that sovereignty, being anxious for nothing.

I'd only use such a phrase with someone who I know is at least as grounded in their trust in God's sovereignty as I am (for instance, the other guys on my session). Otherwise, it can be pretty dangerous.
