Steps
"Sweet dreams, my love. I adore you! 😇"
Send a simple, affectionate message to remind your boyfriend that you love him. While intricate, flowery texts are fun, a gentle wish for him to have a peaceful and restful night can work wonders in making him smile before falling asleep. Depending on your relationship, you can replace "I love you" with "You're really special to me," "You always surprise me," or "I care about you so much."
"Goodnight, you sweet and intelligent guy, the best I've ever known! 🤵🏻♂️💗"
Reassure your boyfriend that he is wonderful in your eyes. Compliments and praise can help him understand how much you care about him. To create a sense of connection from afar, describe what you admire most about him. Mention the qualities in his appearance or personality that you know he’d love for you to recognize, such as how he might enjoy hearing about his charming smile.
"You look so cute when you're about to sleep… I wish I were there to see you 😴"
Give him a little flattery to make him feel loved. This is a very intimate and personal image he may never have heard from anyone else, so telling him how adorable he looks when he's falling asleep will make him feel touched.
"I'm so lucky to have you. Sleep well 💝🤗"
Express how much you care about him to make him smile before falling asleep. Let him feel valued and reassured even when you're apart. For him, the feeling of being cherished by someone special (like you!) will definitely make him drift into a peaceful sleep, feeling joyful and loved.
"I wish I could stay up all night texting you 🥺 Wishing you sweet dreams!"
Let your boyfriend know how much you enjoy talking with him. End your conversation by telling him that if you could, you’d text him all night long. This will leave him with a wonderful feeling about himself and your relationship as he falls asleep.
"I hope I dream of you tonight. Goodnight! 🥱"
Tell him that you don’t want to be apart from him, even in your sleep. When you’re in love with someone, it’s hard to imagine being separated from them, even for just one night. Let him know that you wish to always be by his side, even in your dreams. This will make him fall asleep feeling comforted, close, and loved.
"You are the last person on my mind before I fall asleep… Wishing you the sweetest dreams 😻"
Send your boyfriend a message that shows just how special he is to you. When you truly care about someone, it brings joy to know how much they mean to you. Tell him that out of all the people you love, he’s the one you think about before falling asleep.
"I’m falling asleep now, but I want you to know I’m thinking of you. Goodnight!🌛"
Express that even when you’re sleepy, he’s still your number one priority. This sweet message emphasizes that even as you’re drifting off to sleep, his happiness is still on your mind. Picture sending him a loving message with your eyes half-closed, and he’ll feel truly adored.
"It’s sad I can’t wake up next to you… but I’ll text you when I wake up 🌤"
Remind your boyfriend that a good morning message will be waiting for him when he wakes up. Even though it’s a bit sad not being able to sleep together, you both have something beautiful to look forward to. Every good night message is followed by a cheerful good morning one! Help your boyfriend focus on the positive, and he’ll fall asleep with a smile.
"Goodnight, don’t let the bedbugs bite! 🥸🐜"
Send a playful message to make him smile before he sleeps. A lighthearted message will not only make him feel touched, but it will also make him laugh! This will brighten his mood before sleep and remind him how much you can make him happy.
"I just sent you a goodnight kiss through the phone… did it arrive? 💋"
To create a sweet, fun moment, pretend you just sent him a kiss. He’s probably wishing he could cuddle with you before sleep, so express that you feel the same way. Finish the message with a kissing emoji or a picture of you blowing a kiss.
"Here’s a selfie I just took for you to carry into your dreams… Goodnight 💫"
He’s probably missing your smile, so send him a picture to comfort him. He’ll immediately feel better when he sees your photo, even if he’s feeling lonely without you there. If you know he loves looking at something specific in your photos, send it to him. For example, you could send a picture of your captivating smile or one of you wearing the shirt he bought for you.
"I’d do anything to be in your arms right now. Goodnight! 💏🏾🌙"
Send him a message that makes him imagine the two of you together. When you're far apart, your imagination becomes a source of comfort and a way to connect. Describe how you wish to cuddle or kiss him, sending him off to dreamland with the thought of you by his side.
"Close your eyes. I’m right here with you. Sleep well! 😌😌"
Guide him through a visualization exercise to help both of you feel closer. Remind him that if he closes his eyes, he can easily sense you lying next to him. Close the distance between you two for that night, and both of you will feel connected before drifting into sleep.
"Look at the moon, babe. I’m looking at it too, thinking about you. Goodnight! 🌝"
Coordinate with him to create the feeling of closeness, as if you’re touching through messages. Tell your boyfriend to look at the moon, place his thumb on his promise ring, or lay his hand over his heart. Let him know you’re doing the same. This gesture will create a connection and make him feel close to you before he sleeps.
"Dream about me tonight ;) Goodnight 🎼😽"
Borrow lyrics from a romantic song to express your feelings. Choose lyrics from a song you both love to remind him of the great moments you’ve shared together, or send him lyrics that express your feelings. He’ll be touched by your sweet words and fall asleep feeling loved.
"Goodnight, my little panda 🍭😋"
Call him by a sweet nickname in your goodnight message. Cute nicknames will help you feel closer to your boyfriend, as he may feel like he’s part of your special, affectionate language. When wishing him sweet dreams, use the nickname he loves most.
"I’m rereading our old messages... You always make me so happy! Goodnight 😊"
Reflect on the wonderful moments you’ve shared together. To feel more connected with your boyfriend, guide his attention back to the stories you’ve shared. Along with your message, you could send photos of your favorite old messages, whether it’s a compliment he gave you, a plan for an exciting date, or the first messages you exchanged.
"Thanks for treating me to dinner – I had such a great time with you. Goodnight 😍😍"
Express how much you cherish the joyful moments you’ve shared together. Sweet goodnight messages are often filled with warmth because they remind you of the connection and love that the two of you share daily. So, thank him for adding another beautiful memory, whether it’s from a mini-golf session, a movie night, or a cozy dinner at home.
"I’m counting the days until we can be together again… Goodnight 🥰"
Focus on the wonderful times ahead instead of missing each other tonight. To bring a smile to his face, remind him of the amazing moments waiting for both of you when you’ll be together. Your excitement will fill him with joy, and he’ll go to sleep feeling positive about your relationship and less lonely.
"When we live together, I’ll be the one saying goodnight to you. Until then… ❤️"
Dream of a shared future to make the lonely nights easier to bear. Since you can’t fall asleep in each other’s arms tonight, send him a message that helps him imagine a day when you won’t be apart anymore. Lessen his longing by sharing your dream of a future together with him.
"I wish you were here with me... Sweet dreams, my love ❤️"
Write a romantic message to connect with him. To stir passion while you're apart, craft a message that expresses deep emotions for him. Send him something he's never heard from you before. This way, not only will you eliminate the feeling of distance between you two, but you'll also create a fresh and exciting sense of intimacy through your words.
"If you didn't know, let me tell you that you've captured my whole heart. Sleep well, love! 💕💕"
Reassure your boyfriend that he never has to fear losing you. How wonderful it is to hear those comforting words from someone you love, so gift him this reassurance before he goes to sleep. Let him feel secure in your love by telling him that he means everything to you.
"You give me a feeling no one else could ever give. I love you. Sweet dreams, my darling 👩🏿❤️👨🏼💞"
Let him know that no one compares to him. To add more romance, tell your boyfriend that he has a strong and special influence on you. He will feel happy and might even send you a passionate reply before falling asleep.
"No words can describe how much I love you. Sleep well, my love 🌌🙈"
If you feel that your affection for him can't be expressed in words, let him know. Sometimes words aren't enough to convey the love you feel for him. Let him know that you love him more than what words can express, and he will drift to sleep feeling deeply cherished.
"With each passing day, I love you more. Xoxo, sweet dreams 👬🏽"
Shift your boyfriend's focus to the bright future ahead. This message will make him feel appreciated, connected, and hopeful about your relationship. Instead of focusing on the distance between you tonight, tell him that the best things are yet to come.
"I care less about this bed now, because you're not here with me... Sleep well! 😍😏"
Send a flirtatious message to make him wish you were beside him. If you want him to miss you a little, send a suggestive message. Let him know how much you'd love to touch him right now. This will excite him and he’ll fall asleep with a thrilling feeling. He’ll feel lucky to have a girlfriend who can turn him on, even from a distance.
"My bed is too cold. I wish you were here to warm me up...🥵"
Heat things up with a seductive message. This message will make him feel elated and excited. He’ll wish he could show up at your door and be ready to keep you warm.
"I think you'll like the pajamas I'm wearing (or not wearing) right now... Sweet dreams ❤️🔥"
Spark sexual desire to make him feel intoxicated before sleep. To heighten excitement, tease his imagination. Mention what you're wearing, what you're doing, or what you're thinking about. This message will leave him breathless and both of you will dream of your next meeting.
"I can't sleep... I wish you were here to help me release all this energy...💘"
With a hot goodnight message, you'll make him look forward to every word you say. Send him a seductive message, and if you wish, you can start a series of flirtatious messages before sleep. If you're in the mood for this, try adding a question to pull him into the conversation: "What do you think we would do if you were here with me?"
"Next time you see me, you won't get much sleep. So, sleep well tonight 😉"
Direct his attention to the wonderful feelings you’ll share next time you're intimate. If you want him to crave you (but don’t want him to feel disappointed by the distance), remind him of your next encounter. This way, you'll stir his desire while helping him focus on the positive: that you two will share your passion in the near future.
