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.

Audio engineering is by Bob Witter-Shine.

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

Now is a particularly good time to follow us on Twitter, or Instagram, or Facebook.

We'll have some exciting announcements coming up in the next few weeks.

I don't want you to miss out on them, as well as regular doses of cozy photos and illustrations,

and small reminders from me to breathe.

Now, this podcast works by giving your mind a place to rest, something soothing and simple

to focus on, so that the background static goes quiet, and you can relax and sleep.

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

Just follow along with the sound of my voice, and the gentle details of the tale.

And before you know it, you'll be waking up tomorrow, feeling refreshed and rested.

If you wake in the middle of the night, take your mind right back to any of the details

you can remember, and you'll drop right back off.

Really.

This is brain training, so be patient as we plant these seeds.

Now it's time to turn off your light, and put away anything you were looking at.

Prioritize your own comfort right now.

Being the right pillow in the right spot, and pulling your comforter up over your shoulder.
