Sesame Street: Sleepytime Songs & Stories

Overview

Bedtime Stories & Songs is a 1986 Sesame Street direct-to-video compilation, released on VHS as part of the My Sesame Street Home Video label. The video was re-released with different segments under the new title of Sleepytime Songs & Stories in 1996, and on DVD in 2005. The framing story involves Big Bird speaking to the audience, offering advice on the best ways to fall asleep.

Buster the Horse demonstrates how to fall asleep standing up and Susan comments from her apartment window.
