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

  • Thanksgiving at the Cabin

    Thanksgiving at the Cabin
    Nov 25 2024

    Our story tonight is called Thanksgiving at the Cabin, and it’s a story about a walk through the woods with a friend to start the day. It’s also about sun on your face, empty branches, and squirrels, cranberries, and apples. The sound of the shower in the other room, and a note written in the steam on the mirror. Family, as you find it, and the deep feeling of enough.

    We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to the Trevor Project. They work to support and safeguard LGBTQIA+ young people.

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.

Perfect sleep companion

I love these podcasts. Pitched just right to keep your mind from wandering far but also letting you drift off

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.

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.

Sleep success

I can’t believe how effectively this is helping me sleep, thank you so much. I hadn’t realised how much better my sleep could be until I found this podcast.
