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

You'll feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nicolai, my right and read all the stories you hear on nothing much happens,

with audio engineering by Bob Witterstein.

Want to live in the village of nothing much?

There are some ways to get in there.

Bonus and ad-free episodes, cozy NMH hoodies and mugs and pencils, and my beautifully illustrated

book, well that's more, all at nothingmuchappens.com.

Busy minds need a place to rest.

I've written you a soft landing, a simple story to rest your attention on.

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

Just by listening, you'll shift your brain activity, and put yourself in a place where

sleep will come.

If you wake in the night, you can listen again, or think through any parts that you can

remember.

Your brain will shift again, and you will fall right back to sleep.

We're creating a conditioned response, so know that the more you do this, the more reliable

your sleep will be.

If you're new here, well, be patient at first.

Alright, it's time.

Turn off your light, set down what you were looking at.

Get the right pillow in the right spot, and make your own comfort, your first priority.
