Welcome to bedtime stories for grown-ups, in which nothing much happens.

You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Katherine Nicholai.

I read and write all the stories you hear on nothing much happens.

Thank you for listening and for sharing our stories with anyone you know who likes relaxation

and good sleep.

You can also follow us on Instagram and Facebook and Twitter for a bit of extra coziness.

So I'm about to tell you a bedtime story.

And the story is like a soft landing spot for your mind.

Rather than letting your brain race through the same thoughts you've been chasing all day,

we are going to take a detour to a calm and cozy place.

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

If you wake again in the middle of the night, just walk yourself back through any of the

details that you remember and you'll drop right back off.

We get better at what we do habitually.

So be patient if you are new to this.

Your sleep will improve with time and practice.

Now it's time to turn off the light.

Take one last sip of water and snuggle down into your favorite sleeping position.

Get your pillow in the perfect spot and take a slow deep breath in through your nose.

And out through your mouth.
