Today, let’s talk about cute messages to send to your boyfriend while he’s sleeping.
Why send texts when you know the recipient won’t get them right away?
Think about it: Who doesn’t enjoy reading romantic, thoughtful messages upon waking up?
First, we’ll do a strategy review and then look at 57 rise-and-shine texts that will remind your guy how much you care for him.
What Should I Text My Boyfriend When He’s Sleeping?
Texting your boyfriend while he’s sleeping is sweet.
But what should you say?
Before composing and pressing send, let’s first consider a few categories of as-you-slumber messages.
I Love You: A well-placed “I love you” message has the power to brighten your boyfriend’s day. But don’t go overboard. If you send them daily, the gesture loses its punch.
Don’t Forget: An early morning reminder sprinkled with affection works well if you need your man to be somewhere or do something that day.
Just Thinking of You: If you’re not at the “I love you” stage, a “thinking of you” message is the right choice. Make it sweet or sassy — the choice is yours.
Silly: Every text doesn’t need to be filled with roses and sweet nothings. Sometimes, a little silliness hits the spot.
I’m Sorry: Did you mess up? Send him a message while he’s sleeping to apologize. It’ll be a nice surprise for him when he wakes; plus, it gives you some space to say you’re sorry without immediately discussing the incident.
Change of Plans: Are you meeting at 7:30 p.m. instead of 7 p.m.? Did the restaurant change? A cute wake-up text could let him know.
Good Luck: Does he have a big presentation or meeting? What better way to start the day than with a good luck message of encouragement from you!? It’s thoughtful.
