What is the last thing you say to yourself or others
The last few things said before sleep are important. A quiet, personal moment to let someone else know you care.
Even if I have had a hard day with my daughter (8 years) and right up to bed time at times, it is important to deal with the issues and then let go, so at bed-time we can focus on some nice thoughts.
No matter what has happened there is always something positive to say: “Thanks for helping me this morning”, “You were a good friend today”, “I just love having you around”.
And if it is self talk, do yourself a favour and be kind. We are often hard on ourselves so go to sleep and give yourself a pat on the back for something.

I agree that it’s nice to go to sleep after someone has said something nice to you.
