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.

Audioengineering is done by Bob Witter-Shine.

Thank you for listening and for sharing our stories with anyone you know who likes relaxation

and good sleep.

You can follow us on Instagram and Facebook and Twitter for a bit of extra coziness.

If you need a little more nothing much in your life, head to nothingmuchappens.com where

you can find some special pieces inspired by the show.

Let me explain a little about how to use this podcast.

Just like when you were a child being tucked in for bed.

You're about to hear a story to send you off to Dreamland.

The story is meant to be a soft landing place for your mind so that instead of circling

through the same thoughts, you can rest in a sweet peaceful place.

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

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

Take your mind back to the beginning of the story and walk yourself back through the

details that you can remember.

Especially any bit that felt particularly cozy.

You're training your brain and body to wind down and the more often you do it, the faster

you will fall asleep so have a bit of patience at the beginning.
