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 are nothing much happens.

No engineering is by Bob Witterschheim.

Thanks to your support, we give to a different charity each week.

This week we are giving to International Justice Mission at ijm.org.

Their mission is to protect people in poverty, from violence and injustice.

Look for more information about them in our show notes.

Just by listening to my voice and following along with the general shape of the story,

you'll be able to create a reliable response in your brain and nervous system.

So that when you lie in bed at night, when it's time to sleep, you just will.

The more you practice it, the stronger the response will become.

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

If you wake again in the night, don't hesitate to turn this or another story right back

on.

Or just think through any detail that you can remember.

Okay, lights out campers.

It's time.

Set everything down and prioritize your own comfort.

How do you need to arrange yourself to feel the most relaxed?

Whatever you did today, it was enough.
