Welcome to bedtime stories for grown-ups 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.

With audio engineering by Bob Wittershime, we keep expanding the world of nothing much

for you.

A beautifully illustrated book, an audio book, ad-free and bonus episodes, and now a

morning-friendly 10-minute meditation called First This.

Now, just as your body needs a bed to sleep in, your mind needs a place to rest.

Some place calm and safe and simple.

That's what the story is.

A place to rest your mind.

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

As you listen, pull the details of the story around you like a blanket.

Imagine yourself in the story.

And before you know it, likely long before I finish reading, you'll be deeply and peacefully

asleep.

If you wake again in the middle of the night, you can turn the show right back on and you'll

probably fall asleep even faster.

We're subtly affecting your brain activity with this technique and it will make your sleep

skills stronger and stronger over time.
