Nothing much happens: bedtime stories to help you sleep

By: Wellness Loud

  • 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

It’s also about small changes adding up over time, candle ice and frost flowers, letting the sun bathe your face after several gray days, and a small adventure to keep you going till Spring. We give to a different charity each week, and this week we are giving to Voices for Children. Their center serves as a voice and an advocate for children throughout Genesee and Shiawassee Counties. voicesforcac.org Order your own NMH weighted pillow now!

    The Sleeper Car (Encore)
    Jan 23 2025
    Our story tonight is called The Sleeper Car, and it’s a story about a trip where the mode of travel is more important than the destination. It’s also about crisp ironed linens, a little notebook that fits perfectly into your pocket, the mystery of strangers across the dining car, and waking up to a snowy sunrise.

    Snow Day in the Village
    Jan 20 2025
    Our story tonight is called Snow Day in the Village, and it follows up on the recent storm that blew threw Nothing Much. It’s about checking on neighbors as the drifts pile up, shovels and thick socks. It’s also about banana bread, puppy paw prints in the snow, books and blankets, and small acts that connect and protect us. We give to a different charity each week and this week we are giving to Veganuary. Working to encourage people worldwide to try vegan for January and beyond. Need an assist with your sleep?

Kathryn’s method works!!

A beautifully delivered set of stories that really do send me to sleep in the right frame of mind, and also usually leaves me with a snippet of wisdom to think on, the following day. I feel like you’re really someone I know personally. Thank you.

It works

I’ve struggled falling asleep for a long time often laying awake for hours. Over the last couple of months I’ve started using this podcast nightly and now usually fall asleep before I’ve even listened to the first telling of the story. I’m amazed how well this works for me. A huge thanks to the team who make these you are fantastic.
