"Each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully for we are all members of one body. In your anger, do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry..."
Whether you are a Christian or not, this is good advice for you. There are few worse feelings in the world than ending the day in a fight with someone. There are very few if any fights or arguments or things that cause us to be angry that should not be resolved by the end of the day. It's hard to rest when there's a lingering question of whether he/she is even upset with me and if so will he/she forgive me. This goes not only for family but friends and colleagues as well.
Many a time I have irritated a friend during the day and tried to make amends shortly thereafter only to find that the other person wants to let this little problem linger on and on. When the opposite occurs, I an typically very quick to forgive and forget as long as I see the other person wasn't deliberately trying to hurt me.
Basically, just keep communications open and honest with everyone with whom you have a personal relationship, and resolve all conflict before going to sleep and we will all be happier, well-rested people.
