Welcome to Bedtime stories for grown-ups, in which nothing much happens.

You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nikolai. I write and read all the stories you hear on nothing much happens.

Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim.

My book, also called Nothing Much Happens, is available wherever books are sold.

Thank you for your support.

Now, I have a story to tell you,

and the story is a place to rest your mind.

Especially at night, our minds can feel so busy and overloaded, like an overwhelmed clock.

Just by following along with my voice and the general shape of the story. Your mind can passively unwind, and soon

you'll be taking along at your own natural pace, sleeping deeply, and waking up feeling

rested and relaxed.

I'll tell the story twice, and I'll go a little slower on the second read-through.

If you wake in the middle of the night and feel your mind winding back up. You could listen again, or just think your way

through any

soothing memory.

It will shift networks in your brain

and help you to drop right back off.

This, like most anything, gets better with practice.

So be patient if you are new to it.

Our story tonight is called The Tulip Farm.

And it's a story about a bright spring day among beds of flowers.
