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 that you hear on nothing much happens, with audio engineering

by Bob Wittershine.

If you love these stories, there is a whole world waiting for you in my book, also called

Nothing Much Happens.

It's available in Hardback and as an audiobook, which I read myself.

There are 16 new stories, and the only place to hear them in my dulcet tones is in the

audiobook, which I have of course recorded with Bob's help.

There are several guided meditations you can turn on and just follow along with.

Find it along with our merch and ad free feeds at Nothing Much Happens.com.

Now let me say a little about how to use this podcast.

I have a story to tell you, and it exists really simply as a soft place to rest your mind.

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

Just follow along with my voice, and the simple shape of the story.

And before you know it, you'll be deeply asleep.

If you wake in the middle of the night, you could listen again, or just think back through

any details from the story that you can remember.

Doing so gives your brain a job to do, which shifts it out of default mode.

And when that happens, you'll fall right back to sleep.

This is brain training, and it does take a bit of practice.
