How to send "Good Night"
By sound
Say it in rhythm: dah-dah-dit, three dahs, three dahs, dah-dit-dit — pause — dah-dit, dit-dit, dah-dah-dit, four dits, one dah.
By light
Flash GOOD in four letter-groups, hold a long pause for the word gap (about three times your letter gap), then flash NIGHT's five groups.
By tapping
Tap the two words with a soft, slowing rhythm — a gentle winding-down pattern is how most people sign off for the night.
Ways to use it
Sign off for the night. End the day by sending it to someone learning Morse with you — it beats a plain "gn".
Calm bedtime message. Text the pattern to a partner or friend; NIGHT's four-dit H followed by a single-dah T feels like a soft closing tap.
Daily practice pair. Practice it right after <a href="/good-morning-in-morse-code/" style="color:var(--cyan)">Good Morning</a> — morning and night phrases share the GOOD half, so you learn both at once.
