"Everybody Sleeps" is a Sesame Street that first appeared in Season 3. The song is sung by the composer, Joe Raposo.

The song is accompanied by a film showing people and animals sleeping in various ways. Some scenes were replaced in the 1990s (see video releases). The film originally had a shot of a man falling asleep in a chair, only to fall out of it, which was later replaced with a shot of astronauts sleeping.

A similar song called "Everybody Eats" uses the same tune, but has lyrics that pertain to food and eating. The song was also remade as "Every Kitty Sleeps" for a Suzie Kabloozie cartoon.
