In this episode of Nothing Much Happens, relax and unwind as Kathryn Nicolai tells a soothing bedtime story called "Thunder and Lightning." Fall asleep as she describes the comforting sounds of a storm and the cozy embrace of a quiet afternoon indoors.
Welcome to Bedtime Stories for Everyone 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 and nothing much happens.

Now here's how this works.
I'll tell you a soft, soothing story and just by listening you'll shift your brain activity from the wandering tornado of thought that is default mode to the systematic and sleep appropriate task positive mode.
It might sound fancy or complicated, but it just means paying attention to something can help you fall asleep.
I'll tell the story twice and I'll go a little slower the second time through.
