Welcome to bedtime stories for everyone, in which nothing much happens.

You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Negoli.

I create everything you hear on nothing much happens, with audio engineering by Bob Wooder

Shime.

Besides bedtime stories, I also have a podcast of simple meditations.

Each one is about 10 minutes long, completely guided, and a great way to start the day in

a balanced frame of mind.

So let me tuck you in tonight.

And if you're up for it, join me tomorrow on any podcast app.

I'm going to search first this.

Now I'm going to read you a bedtime story.

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

Just by listening, you'll shift your brain activity from the static buzz of your default

mode to the smooth hum of task mode, which all just means you'll shift into a place where

you can fall asleep.

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 a fond memory.

This is brain training, and you'll notice that the more you practice it, the more quickly

and deeply you'll sleep.

Now, turn out your light, settle your body into your favorite sleeping position, and

feel everything relax.
