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 write and read all the stories you hear on nothing much happens with audio engineering

by Bob Wooder-Shine.

If you need more co-siness in your life, and listen, I get it.

I need maximum levels myself.

We have options for you.

Snuggly hoodies, blankets, and sleep masks in our merch store.

Bonus and ad-free stories through our subscription feeds.

Nerming photos, many featuring my dogs, honor socials, and a book with a map of the village

and illustrations of the bakery and the bookshop.

Find it all at nothingmuchappens.com.

Now let me say something about how this works.

Your mind needs a place to rest.

And without one, it's apt to race and wander and keep you up all night.

The story I'm about to tell you is a landing spot.

Let your attention linger on the sound of my voice and the soothing details of the story.

Everything so will actually shift your brain activity from default mode to task positive

mode, which just means you'll be able to sleep.

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

If you wake in the middle of the night, turn your thoughts right back to whatever you

...
