Welcome to Bedtime Stories for Everyone, in which nothing much happens. You feel good,

and then you fall asleep. I'm Catherine Nikolai. I write and read all the stories you hear on Nothing Much Happens.

Audio Engineering is by Bob Wittersheim.

We are bringing you an encore episode tonight, meaning that this story originally aired at some point in the past.

It could have been recorded with different equipment in a different location.

And since I'm a person and not a computer,

I sometimes sound just slightly different.

But the stories are always soothing and family-friendly,

and our wishes for you are always deep rest and sweet dreams.

Now, a mind that is gently focused rather than wandering is not only more likely to slip into sleep.

It is naturally happier and calmer.

So think of this as a way to train your brain for bed, but also for a better day tomorrow.

Just by listening to the sound of my voice and following along with the general shape of our story,

will activate your task positive network, and you will sleep.

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

If you're new to this, come with some patience.

You'll want to use the stories regularly for at least a couple weeks to get the best results. Our story tonight is called A Month of Sundays,

and it's a story about finding a way to make time for rest and enjoyment.
