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 Wittersheim.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week we are giving to World Central

Kitchen.

They are teaming up with Moroccan volunteers to provide food and water in their remote

areas hardest hit by the earthquake.

We have a link to them in our show notes.

Without something to focus on, your mind can wander endlessly.

So having something outside of your own thoughts to gently pay attention to allows your mind

to settle into one place.

And from there, sleep is possible, it's almost inevitable actually.

So I'll tell you a story, and I'll tell it twice, and go a little slower the second

time through.

And just by listening, you will fall asleep.

Trust me, a hundred million downloads can't be wrong.

If you wake later in the night, turn the story right back on.

Most people fall back to sleep within seconds.

Now it's time, lights out, get as comfortable as you can.

And just scan up through your legs and torso, your arms and chest, your neck and face.
