We’ve all been there, lying in bed, eyes half-closed, ready to drift off, and then boom, you start thinking about him.
You want to send a goodnight text, but let’s be honest, “Goodnight” alone feels like a soggy cracker. No thanks.
If you’re like me, you want to send something that’ll make him smile, maybe laugh, and definitely remind him why you’re the best. The trick is finding that sweet spot between cute, funny, and a little flirty.
Here are 15 texts that will do just that. You can tweak them to fit your vibe or just hit copy-paste (I won’t judge). Either way, you’ll be sending him to dreamland with a grin on his face.
1. Keep It Simple, Keep It Sweet
“Goodnight, handsome. Thinking of you and your smile. Sleep tight!”
Okay, full disclosure: sometimes I do send the basic “goodnight,” but only when I’m feeling super lazy. Most nights, I like to spice it up.
This one is the perfect mix of cute and genuine. It says, “Hey, I think you’re cute,” but without throwing in any grand declarations of love that might send him running for the hills.
2. Get Playful
“Dreamt of you last night… don’t worry, it was a good one!”
One time, I actually had a dream that my guy turned into a banana. I didn’t share that part, obviously, but I did tell him I dreamed of him, and it led to a hilarious convo.
Keep it fun, let him imagine whatever he wants, and leave out any weird dream transformations.
3. Show Some Gratitude
“Thank you for making me laugh today. Sleep well, love.”
I think I send a variation of this every other day. Sometimes, the smallest things—like him sending a meme or making a silly face—make a difference. Why not show him you appreciate the lightness he brings to your day?
4. Offer Some Support
“Rough day? Don’t worry, you’ve got this, and I’ve got you. Sleep well.”
If your guy is anything like mine, some days feel like they just won’t end. Maybe his boss is being a pain, or his fantasy football team is tanking (seriously, the drama that comes with those leagues).
This text is like a virtual hug—supportive without getting too mushy. It’s perfect for when you know he’s had a tough day.
5. Throw in Some Cheekiness
“Counting down the seconds until I can steal your covers again. Sleep tight, sleepyhead!”
Okay, so I’m a total blanket hog, and I own it. We all have that one inside joke—ours just happens to involve him freezing at night while I burrito myself in all the covers. If you’ve got one, throw it into the mix.
6. Get a Little Romantic
“You’re the star that lights up my night. Wishing you sweet dreams.”
Yep, sometimes I go full-on romance mode. I mean, if I don’t tell him he’s my star, who will? Just be careful not to go too overboard with this, especially early on, or you might scare him off. Keep it cute, not clingy.
7. Turn Up the Flirt
“Can’t wait to be in your arms again… until then, dream of me!”
Flirting is key. This one says, “I miss you, but also, I’m amazing, so think about that while you sleep.” Confidence is sexy, and this text lets him know you’re looking forward to those future cuddle sessions.
8. When You’re Missing Him
“Just a reminder: I miss you. Can’t wait to see you tomorrow.”
I don’t care what anyone says, it’s okay to let him know you miss him. Especially if you’ve been apart all day or if you’re in a long-distance situation. Sometimes you just want to put it out there, and honestly, it feels good to send.
9. Throw in Some Humor
“I hope your dreams are as wild as the things I wanna do to you tomorrow.”
Okay, full disclosure: this one is risky but hilarious. You’ve gotta know your guy for this. If he’s got a good sense of humor, this will definitely make him laugh. If not, maybe save it for when you’re feeling brave. Either way, it’s a good one to keep in your back pocket.
10. Get a Little Spicy
“Thinking of all the fun things we can do tomorrow. Sleep tight!”
Sometimes, you just need to leave him with a little something to look forward to. It doesn’t need to be a full-on, detailed plan—just a teaser.
11. Give Him a Pep Talk
“Tomorrow’s a big day, but you’ve got this. Sweet dreams of success.”
If he’s got something important happening the next day, this is perfect. Think of it like being his personal cheerleader without the pom-poms. It’s sweet, it’s thoughtful, and it shows that you’re in his corner.
12. Be Mysterious
“Just sent you something sweet to dream about… check your inbox!”
This one works because it taps into his curiosity. Whether you actually send him a follow-up pic or not is up to you (I usually don’t because I’m sneaky like that). The point is, he’ll go to bed wondering, and that’s half the fun.
13. Use an Inside Joke
“Remember that thing we laughed about today? Still cracking up! Sleep tight, goofball.”
Inside jokes are like the secret handshake of your relationship. They’re personal and funny, and they remind him of your shared moments. Every time I pull out one of ours, it feels like a mini connection boost, even if it’s over something completely ridiculous.
14. Declare Your Appreciation
“Feeling lucky to have you. Thanks for being awesome. Sweet dreams!”
Never underestimate the power of telling someone they’re appreciated. Maybe he picked up your favorite snack or just made you smile, it’s nice to remind him that he’s pretty great.
15. The Distance Sucks, but You Don’t
“Wishing I could be with you right now. Sending virtual hugs, goodnight!”
For those nights when you’re apart (which honestly is the worst), this text lets him know you’re still thinking of him. It’s sweet and simple, and it makes the distance feel a little bit smaller—even if you’re miles away.
