Perhaps just say "time to get ready for bed"?
Eh, time to go to sleep or get ready for bed? I mean same concept, different words.
"Eight hours before time to get up"?
At my house we called it "Quit stalling and get your ass in bed".
I asked ChatGPT but I don't like its suggestions:
It's great that you're open to finding a suitable alternative to calling it "bedtime" for your niece. Here are a few suggestions you can consider:
- "Restful Time": This term emphasizes the importance of getting enough rest while still sounding more mature than "bedtime."
- "Dream Hour": This phrase adds a touch of imagination and excitement to the idea of going to bed, making it a more appealing concept for your niece.
- "Sleepy Time": This option retains the focus on sleep but removes the "baby-ish" connotation, allowing your niece to associate it with relaxation and getting ready for a good night's sleep.
- "Night Routine": This phrase focuses on establishing a regular evening routine, which includes winding down and preparing for sleep.
- "Quiet Time": This term emphasizes the need for a calm and peaceful atmosphere before going to bed, which can be appealing to your niece. It would be helpful to involve your niece in the decision-making process by explaining why you're looking for an alternative term and asking her for any ideas she might have. By involving her in the discussion, you can find a term that both of you are comfortable with.
rest my child, for it is time for Dream Hour
Lay your physical self on the rest slab and lose consciousness my offspring, the current instant corresponds to the beginning of the inactivity period
My wife and I (late 40's, with no kids) refer to it as sleepy time in our house, but that probably isn't any better than bedtime. 😆
Time for non-eternal rest
or time for temporary death
Tell her it's time to hit the hay.
Sometimes we say "crash-down" or "splash-down", like a space capsule. You could also try something completely off the wall that just becomes your shared euphemism for bedtime. Maybe the ending of some book or movie you all like can give you some inspiration?
"Looks like it's sleepin' time. Gotta sleep-sleep-sleep." Or just sleep time.
Nocturnal perception deprivation time?
