Every parent knows the sound.
Not lullabies.
Not white noise.
Not even the gentle hum of a bedtime story night-light.
We’re talking about the shrieks, whines, and sudden bursts of midnight energy that strike toddlers and preschoolers the moment bedtime arrives. Add Daylight Savings clock changes, and bedtime routines feel less like a peaceful wind-down and more like a last-lap toddler Olympics.
As parents prepare for the yearly “fall back” sleep chaos, global preschool sensation CoComelon has teamed up with Headspace to launch a brand-new audio experience designed to turn those wild nighttime wiggles into snuggly, sleepy calm.
Welcome to Wiggle to Wind Down, CoComelon’s latest creation under its “CoComelon Can Help” initiative — and perhaps the most soothing one yet.
Every year, when clocks shift back, sleep experts warn families about:
Research consistently shows that Daylight Savings disrupts children’s circadian rhythms — and preschoolers can take days to adjust. Many don’t fully adapt until routines are carefully recalibrated.
That’s where CoComelon’s new nighttime offering comes in.
Each episode of Wiggle to Wind Down offers:
✅ Gentle stretching & playful movement
✅ Calm breathing exercises
✅ Soft, simple mindfulness cues
✅ Sweet, imaginative bedtime-themed stories
✅ Comforting music & soundscapes
✅ Familiar CoComelon voices to help little listeners feel safe
The goal? Help children transition from busy brains and bouncy bodies to rest-ready calm.
This podcast isn’t just cute — it’s scientifically shaped.
Brings familiar comfort, gentle guidance, and a playful tone kids already adore.
Leads little listeners through breathing exercises and mindful relaxation.
Ensures content supports real child development and sleep needs.
According to Dr. Kole:
“Our ‘Wiggle to Wind Down’ series weaves mindfulness and storytelling into a purposeful routine that supports the emotional well-being of both kids and parents.”
In other words — this isn’t background noise. It’s intentional, structured calming support that blends fun + neuroscience.
In a recent Moonbug survey of 500 parents, 45% confessed bedtime is one of their hardest daily challenges — and stress spikes during time-change season.
Modern family life often means:
Parents are left scrambling for structure — and relief.
CoComelon’s Head of Brand Marketing, Laura Castellanos, puts it simply:
“We know how real the bedtime battle can be. Partnering with Headspace gives families expert tools to turn hectic evenings into connected, peaceful moments.”
A gentle underwater journey with soft ocean sounds.
A sleepy dinosaur makes friends as the jungle settles down.
Kids imagine stars twinkling as they breathe calmly with the night sky.
Each 20-minute session is designed to move children from “wiggle world” to “dreamland mode” without force or frustration.
CoComelon isn’t stopping with audio.
To support families beyond headphones, they’re launching:

And movement before rest?
According to pediatric sleep therapists — light guided motion helps toddlers release the last bursts of energy so they can relax faster.
CoComelon and Headspace have essentially created a sleep bridge — playful enough to keep kids engaged, peaceful enough to ease them into rest.
Screens wake up the brain.
Audio activates imagination — and signals slowing down time.
Benefits of screen-free storytelling for bedtime:
