😴 Lullabies and sleep music
Sleepy Time is Peabody's free sleep music for kids: soft music box, a harp and slow, gentle chords, with no words. It goes quiet by itself after 20 minutes, so it never plays all night. Tap it below, dim the lights, and say goodnight. There are two old songs here to sing, too.
Tap to play. Tap again to stop.
Music rooms

What makes a lullaby?
A lullaby is slow and soft, and it rocks gently, like being carried. It uses only a few notes, and it says the same thing again and again, so there is nothing new to wake up for.
Sleepy Time plays at 58 to 66 beats a minute, about one beat a second. A music box plays the tune, a harp plucks the chord notes, and soft pads hum underneath.
Sing one yourself
A song sung by someone you love is the best lullaby of all. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star began as a poem by Jane Taylor, printed in 1806, on an older French tune. The Sleepy Sailor is an old sea shanty with Peabody's own words. Both sheets have the chords, and Fits a small voice moves the song to a key a child can sing.
For grown-ups
Sleepy Time never starts the next station and stops on its own after 20 minutes. Turn the screen's brightness down and the volume low. Like every station it has no words and no ads, and it is made on the device, so nothing is downloaded. A bedtime timer can count down the wind-down before lights out.
