Why Good Night Notes Matter
Sending someone a good night message can help make them feel good. That's not just our opinion, that's science. When studying the brains of people in love, researchers have found heavy surges of dopamine—the neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward.
Experts suggest even a simple text from someone you love can help activate this process, the effects of which are so powerful, some have even likened the experience to orgasm. Couple that with the flood of endorphins we enjoy when reading a message from someone we love, and feelings of happiness are all but guaranteed.
The benefits don't end there, either. Research has confirmed that these chemicals can also increase our feelings of confidence and optimism. Endorphins act as the body's natural pain relievers, too, decreasing levels of stress and anxiety.
