Bedtime Stories & Songs is a Sesame Street direct-to-video program, released on VHS as part of the My Sesame Street Home Video label in 1986. 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. A Honker and her baby stop by, and Telly arrives for a sleepover with heaps of cuddly toys that he couldn't sleep without. Buster the Horse demonstrates how to fall asleep standing up and Susan comments from her apartment window.
