Welcome to bedtime stories for everyone,

in which nothing much happens.

You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nikolai.

I create everything you hear on nothing much happens.

Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim. We give to a different charity each week, and this week we are giving to the Union of Concerned Scientists.

They work using rigorous, independent science to solve our planet's most pressing concerns.

Learn more in our show notes. Let me take you behind the scenes

for a moment. I'm here in my recording booth and with me at all times is a weighted pillow that I keep

on my lap as I read.

The effect of the deep pressure stimulation

helps me stay in my body.

And I like it so much.

I called up quiet mind, the maker,

and said, hey, let's work together.

So now available is our very own nothing much happens, weighted pillow. That's the perfect holiday gift for

NMH fans. And folks who need extra help, feeling calm and grounded.

The first 100 orders will also get two months free of our premium plus podcast membership.

Order now through the link in our bio.

Now, a wandering mind will struggle to rest.

But a focused mind, one with something to tether it in place, will give over to sleep.

This is why you fall asleep when you're trying to read.
