How about we go to bed and get some rest?" - **Team Effort:** "Let's both head to bed early tonight, we could use some good sleep." ### Creating a Routine: - **Healthy Habit:** "It's almost bedtime. Shall we do our bedtime routine and then sleep?" - **Consistency:** "Let's stick to our schedule. Bedtime now?" ### Offering Benefits: - **Quality Time:** "If we go to bed now, we can spend some time together before we sleep." - **Restful Sleep:** "A good night's sleep will really help us feel refreshed tomorrow."
