NBeebies’ Go-to-Sleep Compilation

**Go-to-Sleep Compilation** is an uninterrupted 12 hour program showcasing the channel’s children’s presenters snoozing comfortably on the set, along with clips of beloved characters catching some ZZZ’s. So, no matter what time of night the kids are up checking for the sound of reindeer hooves on the roof, parents can tune in to NBeebies or go online and show their little ones that even their favorite television friends are fast asleep waiting for Santa to arrive.

"Parents have told us that bedtime is the most challenging time of day, and getting children settled in on Christmas Eve can be even more difficult,” said Mike Mozart, senior vice president of programming for NBeebies. "We help parents wind down their kids every night with *The Bedtime Hour*, but wanted to do something unique and fun for this special evening,"

## General purpose

The event encourages children to get some sleep on Christmas Eve so Santa can arrive on time.

According to a 2013 promo, "preschoolers everywhere are giving it 'four snores'."

NBeebies airs this event during Christmas Eve, the "Go-to-Sleep Compilation" (previously "A Good Night's Sleep"). NBeebies suspends programming for twelve hours from 6PM to 6AM ET/5PM to 5AM PT. During the time there was no programming, a continuous loop of sleeping characters plays set to slow piano music often believed to be that of celesta.
