> 私はそろそろ寝るね。

I understand ね as _is it?_ or _isn't it_ (I think it has other uses)?

But in the example above:

> I will go to bed early.

I can't see any possible use for ね. Maybe it could act as "okay?" But I'm not
very sure.

question
particles
What's the use of ね in the following two sentences?
First, consider this brief citation from the Dictionary of Basic Japanese
Grammar:

> ね
>
> A sentence final particle that indicates the speaker's request for
> confirmation or agreement from the hearer about some shared knowledge.

Second, consider that そろそろ here might be better translated as "soon".

Of course there's no perfect direct translation of ね, but your choice of
"okay?" seems reasonable in this case.

Putting it together:

> I'm going to bed soon, okay?
