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

You feel good and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nicolai.

I create everything you hear on nothing much happens.

With audio engineering by Bob Woodershine.

If you just recited all of that with me, you should get your very own with audio engineering

by Bob Woodershine Hoodie through the link in our show notes.

Our charity this week is Sea Shepherd.

They work to conserve and protect wildlife in the world's oceans and ecosystems.

There's a link to them in our notes as well.

When you can find more things, nothing much, including our ad free and bonus feeds at

nothingmuchappens.com.

Now, we have a lot of new listeners lately, so welcome.

I have a tried and true method for helping you fall asleep and return to sleep if you wake

in the night.

It involves a bit of brain training, so be patient if you are new to this.

Just by listening, by resting your mind on the sound of my voice, we'll catch enough

of your attention to shift your brain activity into its task-positive mode.

And that is where you'll fall asleep.

So just listen, relax.

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

If you wake again in the night, you can turn an episode right back on, you'll be out
