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

You feel good and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nikolai.

I read and write all the stories you'll hear on nothing much happens.

Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim.

We give to a different charity each week,

and this week we are giving to Paracliff hangers, creating opportunities for people with disabilities to overcome mountains.

We have a link to them in our show notes.

If this podcast works a little too well for you,

if you haven't heard more than a few minutes of it

and you sometimes wish you could actually hear the story.

Well we made something for that.

It's called Stories from the Village of Nothing Much and it's a daytime version of the show. It's a really

enjoyable way to relax, refocus, and take a short vacation to our village.

Bob makes a beautiful soundscape for each episode.

Listen on any podcast app.

Just search stories from the village of nothing much.

As always, you can support what we do,

as well as get ad-free and bonus episodes of our shows by subscribing to our premium feed. There is a link in

our notes or you can just search NMH premium on your Apple Podcast app. Now let's train your brain for some good sleep

hygiene. All you need to do is listen. Rest your mind on my words and the sound of my voice.

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