Welcome to Bedtime Stories for Everyone, in which nothing much happens. You feel good, and then you fall asleep. I'm Katherine Nicolai. 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. Before we settle in, I have some exciting news. Today is the day.
The Nothing Much Happens app is officially open, and already thousands of people have joined, ready to become neighbors, to make friends, and to build a gentler daily life together. To celebrate, we're hosting our very first live event tonight at 6 p.m. Eastern. I'll be talking with Bob Wittersheim, our producer and sound designer behind the podcast, and we'd love for you to join us. And one more gift. Anyone who joins with an annual premium membership during the next three weeks will receive a free copy of my new audiobook, On the Street Where You Live. We'd love to welcome you to the village. Visit nothingmuchappens.com to get started. Your mind needs a place to rest. That's what the story I'm about to tell you is.
It's a nest to lay your attention in. In order to stay in the nest, all you need to do is follow along with the sound of my voice and the simple shape of the story. I'll tell it twice, and I'll go a little slower the second time through. If you wake in the night, you can climb right back into that nest just by thinking through any parts of the story you remember. Over time, your sleep response will improve. You'll find that you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. And when you wake, you'll feel rested and relaxed. Our story tonight is called In the Map Room. And it's a story about the pleasures of looking at the world drawn out on paper. It's also about a gasp of koi fish in a pond. A bike ride that leads somewhere surprising.
and the view from the upper room of an old house. One of my favorite little rituals in the summer is climbing into bed after a warm day and feeling cool, breathable sheets. That's one of the reasons I love quints. I've been sleeping on their European linen bedding. We got a really pretty green gingham pattern, and it's soft, lightweight, and just seems to get better every time I wash it. If linen isn't your style, they also have beautiful organic cotton bedding that's cool and comfortable for warm nights. And I appreciate that Quince works directly with Ethical Factory, so you're getting really high-quality pieces without the usual markup. Make your summer bedding feel better.

It's time to settle down into your bed. Pull the blanket over your shoulder and relax into your favorite sleeping position. If you find that you clench your jaw when you sleep, start building a new habit here. As your body gets heavier, you feel sleep coming on. Rest the tip of your tongue at the place where your upper teeth meet the gums on the inside.
