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

You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

All stories are written and read by me, Catherine Nicolai, with audio engineering by Bob Witter

Scheim.

Nothing much happens is a proud member of the Curious Cast podcast network.

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

and good sleep.

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

Just like your body needs a bed to rest in.

Your mind needs a quiet nest to settle into, so that it doesn't wander around keeping

you up all night.

That's what this story provides.

It's a simple, sweet place to rest your thoughts.

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

If you find that you're 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 whatever

you remember, especially any bit that felt cozy or enjoyable.

This is a kind of training for your brain.

You're training it to focus and rest.

And the more often you do it, the faster you will fall asleep.

So have a bit of patience at the beginning.

Now, turn off your light, put down your devices, and get as comfortable as you can.
