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 Witter-Shine.

Now let me say a little about how this podcast works.

I'm going to read you a simple soothing story.

It's mostly about mood and feeling, so you don't have to keep track of anything as you

listen.

Just let your mind follow along with the sound of my voice.

This will keep it from wandering, and before you know it, you'll be dropping off to sleep.

I'll tell the story twice, and I'll slow down a bit with the second telling.

If you wake again later in the night, you could start the story over, or just think back

to any part of the story that you can remember, especially any part that felt cozy or relaxing.

So many listeners have confirmed what I've been telling you all this time, that the more

you listen, the more quickly you'll drop off, and the quality of your sleep will continue
