Sending a good night message might seem small, but it’s often the last love message your partner reads before falling asleep. Whether it’s a simple “Sleep well” or something more poetic, good night messages help couples stay emotionally connected. “I look forward to my boyfriend’s good night texts every day,” says Nneka, 29. “Even if we’ve had a long day, it reminds me that we’re still good.”
For Seun, 34, it’s less about the words and more about the consistency. “It’s like a ritual for me and my wife. No matter where I am, I always send her a good night message before bed and a good morning message once she wakes.”
So if you’re looking for the perfect good night message to end your lover’s day, we have over 150 good night texts — from sweet to flirty — that will have them dreaming of you.
