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 with audio engineering

by Bob Witterschheim.

We give to a different charity each week and this week we are supporting True Colors United.

Working to implement innovative solutions to youth homelessness, the focus on the unique

experiences of LGBTQ plus young people.

Now, I have a simple and effective way to help you get to sleep and return to sleep if you

wake later in the night.

All you need to do is listen as I tell you a story.

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

It has just enough happening to keep your attention but not enough to keep you awake.

And over time you will condition your brain to respond more quickly and reliably.

If you're awake later in the night don't hesitate to turn the story right back on or

just think through any part you can remember.

Now, it's time to set everything down and switch out the light.

Go down into your sheets and just notice how good it feels to be in bed right now.

You are just where you're supposed to be and I'll be here keeping watch as you rest.

You're safe now so you can let go.

Like a slow deep breath in through your nose and sigh through your mouth.

Again, breathe in and let it out.
