These are ways to say good night to a romantic partner. If you’re sharing a bed with someone, in a relationship with someone, or possibly even very close to someone in a way that isn’t like family, you can say these phrases to tell someone good night. These are not generally appropriate phrases to use with family members (unless it’s a spouse) or with people you don’t know.

You can use these to say good night to a child. Usually, these are reserved for your own child, but most of them can be used for any child you are close to. This is especially true if you are also close to their parents. You could also use them to be very silly with someone you are close to and know well, who will respond well to being wished good night as if they are a child.
Don’t forget to say your prayers! | Jesus loves you, and so do I!
These are religious ways to say good night to a child, usually your own. You can also use these ways to say good night to a child you are temporarily in charge of, preferably only if both you and the child (or the child’s parents) are Christian. Use caution in using these phrases with someone who you’re not sure is religious.
I’ll be right here in the morning. | Until tomorrow. | If you need me, you know where to find me. | See ya’ in the mornin’!
You can use these for people who are sleeping at your house. These phrases work well if you are their caretaker but not their parent. They also work well if you’re hosting friends or relatives for the night.
