Welcome to bedtime stories for everyone 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 with audio engineering

by Bob Witterschheim.

Costs about a dime a day and really supports what we do.

We actually have a bonus episode coming out today and it's called a mid-summer afternoons

nap and it's a story about a hammock in the shade.

Hydrangeas as they shift color from pink to blue and the feeling of being right in the

middle of a warm, lovely season.

So the best way to fall asleep is to not try to fall asleep.

Really, so instead of trying, just listen to the story I have to tell you.

Listen to my voice.

It will engage your brain's task positive network and that will allow you to fall asleep.

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

If you wake in the middle of the night, don't hesitate to just listen again or think

through any part of the story that you can remember.

Just shifting your thoughts in this way will help you drift back off and if you're new

to this, be patient.
