My original is :
However, we say that both when we say Good Night to a person who is going to bed, and when we are going to bed.
Thanks!

The revision would be:
"However, you can say that both when you are going to bed and when another person is going to bed."
Using "you" can have the same meaning as a singular form and plural form. With the revision, there are two identically structured statements:
"when you are going to bed"
and
"when another person is going to bed."
Their position can be switched and still have essentially the same meaning depending on the speaker's emphasis.
