    For the naysayers; I used to do this as a kid, because there were 6 people (minimum) to say goodnight to, and I was told it was impolite to miss “anyone.” And I’m someone, too.

    I’m in my late 30s and every once in a while I’ll say goodnight to whoever is in my room (even if it’s just my cat) and then goodnight to me.

      I say goodnight to my cat every night. She was feral when I kidnapped adopted her and she still has some of those tendencies. One is not sleeping in my bed. If I sleep on the couch, she’ll sleep next to me. If I’m in my bed she’ll occasionally jump up to check on me. But she doesn’t sleep with me as a rule.

      So every night before I turn out the lights I tell her it’s bed time and say goodnight.
