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.

New engineering is by Bob Wittersheim.

This podcast works by giving your mind a placed rest.

A sort of nest to settle into.

The story I have to tell you is simple and without much action but full of relaxing detail.

Just follow along with my voice and the gentle shape of the story.

And your mind will switch from default mode to task mode.

Where you'll easily drop off to sleep.

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

If you wake in the middle of the night, take your mind back to any part of the story you

can remember.

And that switch will flip again and you'll drop right back off.

Now, let's get comfortable.

It's time to turn off the light.

When set down anything you've been looking at or playing with.

You're safe.
