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

You feel good and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nikolai.

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

Audioengineering is by Bob Witterschheim.

Our bonus and ad-free episodes of the show become a subscriber to our premium plus feed.

We're also adding extra long episodes where we combine the individual stories of a series.

We call those slightly more happens.

And they are usually about an hour and a half long.

Find it through the link tree in our show notes.

This week we are giving to the charity Blessings in a backpack whose purpose is to mobilize

communities, individuals and resources to provide food on the weekends for school-aged children

across America who might otherwise go hungry.

Now, here's how this works.

I'll tell a soft, relaxing story.

And just by listening, you'll condition your brain and body to fall asleep and to return

to sleep quickly and reliably.

This conditioned response will get stronger with practice.

So be patient if you are new to this.

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

Okay, lights out everyone.

It's time.
