Welcome to bedtime stories for grown-ups, in which nothing much happens. You feel good, and

then you fall asleep. I'm Catherine Nikolai.

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

Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim.

My book, also called Nothing Much Happens, is available wherever books are sold.

Thank you for your support.

Your mind needs a place to rest.

Without one, it will likely wander off and keep you up.

The story I'm about to tell you is like a nest to settle your mind into.

Just by listening to the sound of my voice and the simple shape of the tail,

you'll begin to train your brain to stay in the nest, to rest and to sleep.

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

If you wake in the middle of the night, try thinking your way back through any parts of the story you can remember, or even just

walking yourself through a fond memory. We're building better sleep habits and that takes a bit of time and patience.

But you'll notice that as you go you'll fall asleep faster and return to sleep more easily.

Our story tonight is calledy summer morning on the water.

It's a story about a misty summer morning on the water.

It's also about a mug of coffee. the sounds you hear when you truly stop to listen and a rowboat

of coffee poured by a friend the sounds you hear when you truly stop to listen.

And a rowboat, just waiting to be pushed out away from the shore.

Now, lights out campers.

Snuggle down into your sheets body relax.
