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

You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Katherine Nikolai.

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

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

Our minds are busy.

You can now maybe more than ever.

And a busy mind can keep you up all night.

So let this story that I'm about to tell you become a resting place for your mind.

Once your mind settles, you will find sleep.

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

If you wake in the middle of the night, you can listen again, or just walk yourself

back through any part of the story you remember.

This will disrupt the wandering, and get you back to sleep.

This is brain training.

So have a bit of patience if you are new to it.

Over time, you will find you fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer.

Now it's time to sit down anything you've been looking at, or working on.

Switch off the light, and slide down into your sheets.
