Welcome to bedtime stories for everyone, 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.

We are bringing you an encore episode tonight, meaning that this story originally aired at some point in the past.

It could have been recorded with different equipment in a different location.

And since I'm a person and not a computer, I sometimes sound just slightly different.

But the stories are always soothing and family-friendly,

and our wishes for you are always deep rest and sweet dreams.

Let me take you behind the scenes for a moment. I'm here in my recording booth, and with me at all times

is a weighted pillow that I keep on my lap as I read. The effect of the deep pressure stimulation

helps me stay in my body, and I like it so much, I called up

quiet mind, the maker, and said, hey, let's work together. So, now available is our very

own Nothing Much Happens, weighted pillow. That's the perfect holiday gift for

NMH fans and folks who need extra help feeling calm and grounded. The first 100 orders will also get

two months free of our Premium Plus podcast membership.

Order now through the link in our bio.

Now, I have a story to tell you,

and it is a soft place to rest your busy mind.

Just by listening, you'll be training your brain and nervous system

for a reliable and swift shift into sleep.
