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

You feel good and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nicolai.

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

Audioengineering is by Bob Witterschheim.

Thanks for letting us tuck you in at night.

If you'd like to also get up with us in the morning, try my show called First This.

Each episode is a 10 minute guided meditation on a great way to start the day.

It's free and on all podcast apps.

Just search First This.

We give to a different charity each week and this week we are giving to Crisis Response

canines whose mission is to provide strength, comfort and emotional support to individuals,

families, communities and first responders experiencing intense traumatic emotions in the

aftermath of critical incidents.

Especially at night, your mind can spin and spiral with thoughts.

Then you need a way to lift the needle off the record to find some stillness and peace.

And that's what the story is for.

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

Just follow along with the sound of my voice and the simple shape of the tail.

And before you know it, you'll be waking up tomorrow.

Being rested and refreshed.

Now, switch off your light.
