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

Audioengineering is by Bob Witterschheim.

Nothing much happens to the book is available in many countries right now and for pre-order

in many more.

Get yours from your favorite bookseller or learn more at nothingmuchappens.com.

Let me say a bit about how this podcast works, just as your body needs a bed to sleep in.

Your mind needs a place to rest.

Some place calm and safe and simple.

That's what the story is.

A place to rest your mind.

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

As you listen, pull the details of the story around you like a blanket.

Imagine yourself in the story.

And before you know it, likely before I finish reading, you'll be deeply and peacefully

asleep.

If you wake again in the middle of the night, walk yourself back through any details from

the story you can remember.

It'll put your mind right back into its nest and soon you'll be waking up tomorrow, feeling

relaxed and refreshed.
