Good Night in Morse Code
--. --- --- -.. / -. .. --. .... -
"Good night" is the gentle sign-off before sleep, and in Morse it reads --. --- --- -.. / -. .. --. .... - . Like its daytime siblings it opens with the dash-heavy "good," then closes with "night." Couples and parents sometimes tap it as a bedtime ritual — a quiet, coded way to say goodnight without a sound, sent on a hand or a wall in the dark.
