sweet dreams

Goodnight, sleep well

Sweet dreams is a warm parting phrase said to someone going to sleep, wishing them pleasant rest: Sweet dreams, sweetheart.

The expression works as both a genuine wish and a casual goodnight.

It implies affection—you're more likely to say it to family or close friends than to acquaintances.
