We need to normalize the idea that “goodnight” =/= " I’m going to sleep now."
I like to read for an hour or two before bed and try to avoid blue light before sleep so I usually tell my partner/friends goodnight around 8pm or 9pm. It took my current girlfriend a while to realize that me saying goodnight meant “I’m going to put my phone down until the morning so we won’t be able to talk anymore tonight,” and not, “it’s time for me to sleep.” People are always confused when I say it.
