how to feel connected with partner on days i don’t get to see them in person?

hi! i’m quite young, 21F, and i’m in my first real relationship. i like my boyfriend 20M and enjoy spending time with him a lot, but i always feel disconnected from him during the period in between dates - we usually see each other twice a week. we aren’t really the texting 24/7 type and he’s not on his phone all that much (he has a 3 hour screen time daily , total opposite of me haha). i’m suuuuch a texter, so this is a bit of a struggle for me. i do like that we are able to just live our lives independently, but it would be nice to get some updates on his day via text. for example, i’m a little sad tonight because the last time he said something was at 6pm and i haven’t heard from him since then - it’s 2am now so he definitely went to bed… i yearn for goodnight texts which i do get on some nights but not every night like i hope for

wanted to know what you guys typically do to stay connected with your partner on days you don’t get to see each other? and is this worth bringing up to him or am i being silly? we’ve been dating a little while but just became official recently, i don’t want to overwhelm him.
