Welcome to bedtime stories for grownups, 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.

No engineering is by Bob Witter-Shime.

We're proud members of the Curious Cast Podcast Network.

You can follow us on Twitter or Instagram or Facebook for extra coziness.

Now let me explain a little about how to use this podcast.

One left to its own devices.

Your mind could wander endlessly, rehashing and what ifting into the wee hours.

We need to give it a soft place to land.

And that's what the story is.

Once the mind settles, your nervous system can switch over into its rest and digest

mode.

And you'll sleep.

All you need to do is follow along with the sound of my voice on the simple shape of

the story.

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

If you find yourself awake in the middle of the night, you could listen again or just

think your way back through any part of the story that you can remember.

Especially any detail that felt particularly cozy to you.

It'll reroute your mind back to the landing spot.
