Welcome to bedtime stories for everyone, in which nothing much happens.

You feel good and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nicolai.

I write and read all the stories you hear on nothing much happens, with audio engineering

by Bob Wooder-Shime.

Thank you for listening and for sharing our show with others.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week we are giving to the Alliance for

the Great Lakes at GreatLakes.org.

They are a nonpartisan, non-profit, working across the region to protect the fresh, clean,

and natural waters of the Great Lakes.

If you're looking for an ad-free version of the show, you can subscribe to our premium

feed through nothingmuchappens.com.

Now, let's do some sleep training.

We are going to settle your brain into its task-positive network, where you'll be able to quickly

fall asleep.

And we'll do that by giving your brain a teeny, tiny job to do.

And that is simply to listen, to follow along with the sound of my voice, and a bit of the

story I have for you.

I'll tell it twice, and I'll go a little slower the second time through.

If you find you are still awake at the end, don't worry.

This training can take some time if you're new to it.

Keep listening.
