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

You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nicolai.

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

by Bob Wittersheim.

Or all the hashtag, cozy life, lovers in your world.

We've got lots of lovely merch and gift options, including a gift subscription to our ad-free

Every episode is someone's first.

So I like to explain how this podcast works.

I'm going to tell you a story.

It's a place to rest your mind, like an upturned leaf resting on the surface of a river.

You only need to listen to begin to train your brain and nervous system for better sleep.

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

If you wake later in the night, you could turn the story right back on.

Or just think through the details you can remember.

Or even any comforting or pleasant memory.

Now, it's time to turn off the light and snuggle yourself down into the most comfortable

position you can find.

You might have an ideal sleep shape that's tried and true.

Get into it.
