Welcome to bedtime stories for grown-ups, in which nothing much happens.

You feel good and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nigolai.

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

by Bob Witterschheim.

We've got a treat planned for you to help you adjust to daylight savings time.

On Sunday, November 7th, at 8 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, you can join me for a live read

and color a lot on Instagram.

We'll have a printable, full-page illustration from the book for you.

So you can get out your colored pencils and crayons and listen to a few favorite stories

before bed.

Be sure to follow us on Instagram so you don't miss it.

And as always, you can get ad-free and bonus episodes at nothingmuchabins.com.

Let me say something about how to use this podcast.

I'm about to tell you a bedtime story.

It's a simple story without much action, but full of relaxing detail.

The story is like a nest, and we're enticing your fluttering mind to settle down into it.

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

If you find yourself still awake at the end of the first or second telling, don't worry.

That's a good rule of thumb in general when you're trying to fall asleep.

Don't worry.

Relax.
