(music plays)
Two puppets, a boy named Howie and his monkey named Baboo, sit on the grass and watch a bee fly over a flower. They watch the sky change from day to night. Then they fly to space in a rocket. They rotate their heads as they watch clothes spin in a dryer. Then they watch a snail crawl on a big leaf and then they stand outside in the rain sheltered by an umbrella. The sky turns sunny again and a rainbow appears as Howie and Baboo take a hot air balloon ride.

The title of the show reads "Now you know."

The name of the episode reads "Why do I have to sleep at night?"

Baboo says SLEEPY.

Baboo lands on a rooftop. He is wearing a Spider Monkey costume.

Baboo checks his watch.

In Baboo’s watch, Howie says GUESS WHO, SPIDER MONKEY.
AND I HAVE YOUR
PRECIOUS CHOO-CHOO.

Howie laughs evilly.

(angry grunt)

A teddy bear hangs from the ceiling.

Howie says NOW DO I HAVE
YOUR ATTENTION,
SPIDER MONKEY?

Howie pulls a lever and a hole with sharks opens in the floor.

Baboo yells CHOO-CHOO!
NO!

Baboo jumps and covers Howie’s eyes.

Howie says WHO TURNED OUT
THE LIGHTS?
WOAH!

Howie falls. Baboo kisses his teddy bear.

In off, Howie’s Dad says TIME FOR BED, YOU TWO.

Howie says AW, DAD.
DO WE HAVE TO?

Howie’s Dad says IT’S WAY PAST
YOUR BED TIME, HOWIE.

Howie says ALWAYS WHEN
WE’RE HAVING FUN.
I WISH WE COULD JUST
STAY UP ALL NIGHT,
MAKE BELIEVING.

Baboo says ME TOO.

Howie says YEAH.
WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE
TO GO TO SLEEP?

(gibberish)

Howie says ARE YOU THINKING
WHAT I’M THINKING?

Baboo says YEAH!

Howie says TIME TO PUT OUT
A QUESTION...
HMM?

Howie hits his watch. A question mark appears.

Howie says TO THE -

Howie’s Dad says HOWIE!

Howie says RIGHT, RIGHT.
BED FIRST,
THEN SECRET HEADQUARTERS.

At the tree house, Howie sits at the computer and says LET’S SEE WHO’S ANSWERED
THE QUESTION ALERT, BABOO.

Children appear on the computer screen and say HI HOWIE, HI BABOO.

Howie says HI THERE,
QUESTIONEERS.
THANKS FOR ANSWERING
THE QUESTION ALERT.
HERE’S TODAY’S
QUESTION.

Howie and Baboo yawn.

Howie says WHY DO WE SLEEP?

Girl 1 says WE GO TO SLEEP BECAUSE
IT MAKES US GROW.

Girl 2 says AND YOU CAN WAKE UP NICE
AND FRESH IN THE MORNING.

Girl 3 says IF YOU DON’T,
YOU’LL GET REALLY TIRED.
YOU NEED SLEEP.

Boy 1 says BECAUSE YOU DON’T
WANT TO SLEEP
WHEN YOU’RE WALKING.

Girl 4 says BECAUSE MAYBE YOU HAVE SCHOOL,
OR YOU HAVE TO GO
SOMEWHERE LIKE A JOB.

Howie says GREAT ANSWERS,
QUESTIONEERS.
I WONDER IF
THERE’S AN EXPERT
WHO CAN HELP US
ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

Baboo says ME TOO.

A woman appears on the screen. She has curly hair and wears glasses, a pink shirt and a gray jacket.

Doctor Colleen says HEY GUYS.

Howie says OH HEY LOOK,
IT’S DR. COLLEEN.
SHE STUDIES
HOW PEOPLE SLEEP.
HI, DR. COLLEEN.

Doctor Colleen says I HEAR YOU HAVE A QUESTION
ABOUT WHY WE SLEEP.

Howie says OH YEAH,
WE SURE DO.

Doctor Colleen says WHY DON’T YOU COME
DOWN TO MY SLEEP LAB,
WHERE WE STUDY
HOW PEOPLE SLEEP,
AND WE’LL SEE WHAT WE
CAN DISCOVER TOGETHER.

Howie says OKAY, SEE YOU
SOON DR. COLLEEN.
COME ON, BABOO.

Baboo is sleeping.

Howie says BABOO?
BABOO?
BANANAS.

Baboo wakes up and says BANANAS!

Howie says LET’S GO,
BABOO!

Baboo says OKAY, WHERE’S
THE BANANAS?

Howie and Baboo yawn.

Doctor Colleen says GOOD MORNING,
YOU TWO.

Howie says GOOD MORNING,
DR. COLLEEN.
GOOD MORNING.
BABOO, LOOK -
A BED!
A BED, A BED, A BED!
OH, SOFT.

Doctor Colleen says NOT FEELING
VERY WELL TODAY?

Howie says WELL, WE WERE UP
PAST OUR BED TIME
PLAYING LAST NIGHT
AND YEAH.

Doctor Colleen says WELL, SLEEP IS VERY
IMPORTANT HOWIE,
IT’S SOMETHING
THAT WE ALL NEED.

Baboo says EVEN MONKEYS?

Doctor Colleen says EVEN MONKEYS,
BABOO.

Howie says BUT, WHY?

Doctor Colleen says WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU
THE NEXT DAY
AFTER YOU DON’T
GET ENOUGH SLEEP?

Howie says WELL, WE’RE LIKE, REALLY,
REALLY TIRED THE NEXT DAY.
AND THEN SOMETIMES
BABOO MAKES THIS NOISE.
THAT’S THE ONE.
EVERY TIME I HEAR IT
IT JUST MAKES ME
MORE AND MORE UPSET.
I’M JUST NOT MYSELF!

Doctor Colleen says THAT’S RIGHT,
WHEN WE DON’T GET
ENOUGH SLEEP,
WE’RE NOT QUITE
OURSELVES THE NEXT DAY.
WE CAN FEEL
SAD OR GRUMPY,
OR WE CAN’T
THINK CLEARLY.

Howie and Baboo fall asleep.

Doctor Colleen says HOWIE, BABOO?

Howie says OH, SORRY DR. COLLEEN,
I FELL ASLEEP.

Doctor Colleen says NOT ONLY IS SLEEP
NECESSARY FOR YOUR BODY,
IT’S IMPORTANT FOR OUR BRAIN,
AS WELL.
JUST LIKE YOUR ROOM GETS MESSY,
SO DOES YOUR BRAIN.
AFTER A LONG DAY,
YOUR BRAIN IS FULL
OF INFORMATION,
THOUGHTS AND IDEAS.

An animation shows a boy sleeping and dreaming.

Doctor Colleen says SLEEP GIVES YOUR BRAIN
TIME TO CLEAN UP
AND ORGANIZE
YOUR THOUGHTS,
SO YOU’RE READY
FOR THE NEXT DAY.

Howie says SO, EVEN WHEN
I’M ASLEEP,
MY BRAIN IS
STILL WORKING?

Doctor Colleen says IT IS.

Howie says THAT’S COOL.

Baboo says COOL.

Doctor Colleen says AS A KID,
YOU’RE CONSTANTLY GROWING.
EATING NUTRITIOUS FOODS,
EXERCISING
AND GETTING
ENOUGH SLEEP,
HELPS YOU TO STAY HEALTHY,
AND KEEPS YOU GROWING.

Howie says EVEN SUPERHEROES
NEED SLEEP?

Doctor Colleen says EVEN SUPERHEROES.

Howie turns to the camera and says HOW ABOUT YOU?
DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW
GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP
MAKES OUR BODIES
AND BRAINS RESTED
AND READY FOR
THE NEXT DAY?
YOU DO?
GREAT.
WELL THEN...
He yawns and says NOW YOU KNOW.

They sing a song that goes ASK, ASK, ASK ASK
A QUESTION.
FIND, FIND, FIND
FIND AN ANSWER.
NOW, NOW, NOW NOW,
NOW NOW YOU KNOW.
CONCLUSION.
ASK, ASK, ASK ASK
A QUESTION.
FIND, FIND, FIND
FIND AN ANSWER.
NOW, NOW, NOW NOW,
NOW NOW YOU KNOW.

Lying in bed, Howie says NOW YOU KNOW!
AND REMEMBER,
YOU CAN’T GET AN ANSWER
UNLESS YOU
ASK A QUESTION.
SO, KEEP ASKING
QUESTIONS, ‘KAY?

Baboo says SHHH.

Howie says SORRY, BABOO.
