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

You feel good and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nicolai.

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

Audio engineering is by Bob Witterschheim.

If you love these stories, there is a whole world waiting for you in my book, also called

nothing much happens.

And there are bonus stories, four of them now, on our premium plus subscription feed.

Now busy minds need a place to rest.

Without some framework, some structure for your thoughts, they are likely to run wild

and without stop.

So just listen to the sound of my voice and follow along with the general shape of the story.

Before you know it, you'll be fast asleep.

If you wake later and feel your thoughts begin to race again.

You could listen again or just think your way back through any part of the story you

can remember.

That bit of structure will steer you right back to sleep.

I promise.

And since it's brain training, it will get easier and more automatic with time.

Now turn off your light.

Put away anything you've been looking at or playing with.
