Late last night . . . or was it early this morning . . . I realized that we all say goodnight to folks in different ways; whether it’s language or intonation or words.
So – how do you say goodnight?
My kids hear, “Ni night, dude”
My husband hears, “Goin’ in, g’night.”
Guests hear, “Is there anything you need? Okay then, good night. See you in the morning. There’s coffee and juice, cereal, bagels, fruit, eggs, bacon . . . just make yourself at home and help yourself to whatever.” (we’ve had a lot of overnight guests lately)
And God hears, “Thank you for another wonderful dayyyyyyyy . . . zzzzzzzzz.”
I say “good night” or “selamat malam” (Malay for good night). And I do whisper a prayer thanking God for another wonderful day before I doze off.
Depending on who it’s to:
- “Good night” (sometimes shortened to “G’night”)
- “Sweet dreams”
- Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (depends on which key my finger is depressing when I happen to fall asleep).
Time to get some shut eye
I’m calling it quits
I’m hitting the sack
I’m killing the rest of this day, I’m heading to bed.
Off to dreamland
See ya in the morning
New tide coming in tomorrow, who know’s what it’ll bring. I’m off to welcome it.
I’m no owl, goodnight SIR!Normally I just say “Going up” since my bedroom is upstairs. Then one of two things happens. Either they say going to bed and I answer yes, then they say good night, and I say good night. The other thing said to me is ‘okay, night” then I exchange a “night” and walk on up the stairs.
And Miami, I like that “I’m now owl, goodnight SIR!”. Nifty.
I used to say “night night” as a kid and also to my first two kids when they were younger but now it’s always “Goodnight”.
I say “Goodnight” to my 7 year old now although it would have been “night night” to the first two at that age.
Mmm…never really thought about that before.
Usually depends on my mood or who I’m saying goodnight to.
Nighty night
night night
goodnight

Don’t worry about your beauty sleep cause you don’t need any.
Going to hit the sack.
Time to pass out.
Sweepy sweep.
