Nothing much happens: bedtime stories to help you sleep

  • Summary

  • Having trouble sleeping? Join Yoga and meditation teacher Kathryn Nicolai for bedtime stories where nothing much happens to help you relax and sleep peacefully. The stories are a soft landing spot for your mind. Rather than letting your brain race through the same thoughts you’ve been chasing all day, we are taking a detour to a calm and comfy place. We tell the story twice and go a bit slower the second time.

    You can find our book, "Nothing Much Happens," in over 20 languages. Request your local bookseller to shelve it: https://bit.ly/Nothing-Much-Happens

    Jul 15 2024

    Our story tonight is called The Village Races, and it’s a story about a group of runners setting out on a bright, sunny morning. It’s also about butterflies and bagels, lucky numbers and picnic blankets, and the joy of being a part of something you’re proud of.

Just the ticket to get to sleep

I’ve been looking for a while for a story that’s calm and quiet, and nothing much happens to help me drift off - this is brilliant! Interesting enough to focus on, nothing exciting enough to stay awake for.

Very relaxing

The world of nothing much is so charming and peaceful I almost want to listen to the stories while awake too just to get into that relaxed, cozy state. It’s really a sort of meditation. I usually fall asleep in the first 10 minutes. I love the way the stories are built up and Kathryn’s voice and performance is perfect. I also purchased the book, which is super too but this podcast works even better.
