Hush Little Baby: a proper lullaby for the actual bedtime routine
A gentle, sung lullaby built purely to wind down, no plot, no jokes, just sleep.
About as close to a purpose-built bedtime tool as the library gets: 95/100 for settling a wound-up child and a full 100/100 on comfort. There's no presenter, a gentle voice style, and low sensory intensity throughout. It's tagged specifically for younger children (4-5) and flagged as likely to feel babyish for anyone over 8, so keep it for the youngest in the house.

Why it works
This is a straightforward sung lullaby: gentle voice style, calm energy, no presenter, and shots holding for 6.5 seconds on average against a high pacing score of 90/100. There's nothing here to process beyond the song itself.
The regulation numbers are among the strongest for bedtime specifically: 95/100 for settling a wound-up child, 85 for lifting a flat one, and 75 for meltdown recovery, all under a calming energy effect with a clean, natural ending. Comfort rating sits at a full 100/100.
It peaks with the Dreamer play style at 95 for age 4 to 5, with Companion close behind at 90, fitting a gentle, sleepy, imaginative watch rather than anything stimulating. It's rated ASD-safe, PDA-safe and anxiety-safe, though it isn't flagged ADHD-friendly, the slow lullaby pace may not hold a child who needs more stimulation. It's also tagged as likely to feel babyish once a child's past 8.
