15 Awesome Goodnight Texts (and Why They Work)

Texting. It’s one of the easiest (and quickest) ways to communicate with someone. It’s also one of the most convenient because if you want to reach out to a person but you’re not sure if they’re busy (or asleep), you can shoot them a message and they can check it—at their leisure.

That’s why, we’re all for sending goodnight texts to someone that you care about. You can let them know that they’re on your mind in a casual and still really sweet and sentimental kind of way.

And what are some of the best goodnight texts to send out?

Here are a few that are suitable for various stages of a relationship.

Ones that are sure to put a smile on the receiver’s face…as they head off to sleep. Or are sitting up thinking of you.
