210 Best Goodnight Texts for Her to End the Day with Love

Authority notes: Research shows that doing the same things every night before bed can help couples feel more satisfied with their relationship and more secure (see the Gottman Institute on rituals of connection). Regular sleep routines and gratitude practices can also improve your well-being (Harvard Medical School / Division of Sleep Medicine; APA on gratitude and relationships).

Quick Tips—Before You Send

• Get in the right mood. If you're just getting to know someone, go easy on them. But if you're with someone long-term, you can be more intimate.

• Be consistent. Ritual is better than perfection—it's better to write a short nightly text every night than to write a novel once every month.

• Make it your own. Add a small detail (like their name or something that happened on their day) to make it more emotional.

• Multimedia is important. A voice note, a photo of a sunset, or a short video of a selfie can make a message into a memory. Use TellSomething to combine text and photos or videos into a keepsake card.

• Make sure you time it right. Try to do this for 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime so that she can read and respond without being disturbed.

Make It a Multimedia Ritual (3 easy ideas)

1. Voice note (7–20s): Saying "goodnight" to someone is more intimate than sending them a text.

2. Photo/short video: A sunset picture, your nightstand, or a short "goodnight" video. Use TellSomething to put text and photos/videos into one card.

3. Shared ritual line: End every night with the same private emoji or phrase ("Sleep well, star 🌙"). This helps to make every night the same and makes you feel safe and secure.

How the science backs it up (authority & further reading)

• Rituals of connection: Relationship experts say that doing things together that you know will make you feel close can help couples feel safe and close (see Gottman Institute on rituals of connection).

• Sleep & routines: Do the same things every night before you go to bed, and this will help you sleep better and feel happier (Harvard Medical School / Division of Sleep Medicine on healthy sleep habits).

• Gratitude & relationships: Saying thank you makes people feel good, helps them to help others, and makes them healthier (American Psychological Association—research on gratitude and well-being).
