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. Now, I have a story to tell you. It is sort of like a lullaby.
And if you let it, it will rock your thinking mind to sleep. The story is simple. Not much happens in it. And that is the idea. Just by listening, we'll be able to shift some activity in your brain. From the static background noise of your default mode to the soothing focus of task positive mode. and that's where sleep can happen.
I'll tell the story twice, and I'll go a little slower the second time through. If you wake in the night and feel your brain start to kick back on, don't hesitate to start the story again. The effects of this conditioning will improve with practice, so be patient if you're new to it.

It's also about a book read in the bath, the luxury of a slow start to the day, sunlight warming the floorboards, a pot of pansies dusted with snow, and making peace with a bit of chaos inside and out.
