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

    Jan 2 2025

    Originally Aired: December 25th, 2023 (Season 12, Episode 43)

    Our story tonight is called Winter Getaway, and it tells, from two perspectives, the tale of a snowy mountain and a warm cabin and a meal shared between friends. It's also about taking time to rest deeply, snowflakes and silver needle tea, and a book wrapped in brown paper.

    Plates and Bowls
    Dec 30 2024

    Our story tonight is called Plates and Bowls, and it’s a story about keeping a promise to yourself after the bustle of the holidays has settled down. It’s also about a quiet, clean environment that brings some ease, coffee cups, and spoon rests, smooth porcelain, and hand-painted ceramics, and finding ways to celebrate the every day.

    We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Make a Wish Foundation. They create life-changing wishes for children.

    Our story tonight is called Mornings at the Coffee Shop, and it’s a story about a cold day made warmer by a fresh cup of coffee made with care. It’s also about twinkle lights reflecting on a shop window, a well-stocked pastry case, hospitality, and the connections that bloom in a community.

Not sleeping? Listen to this now.

I've been hooked on podcast for over a year now and what she says is true. Make this a habit and you'll feel good and fall asleep. At first I thought it was silly, and just listened to one. And then I wanted to hear more about marmalade and then just wanted more of that soothing calm voice, and someone to watch over me. All her words, magic. LOVE this.

My bedtime companion

I’m usually asleep with the set up for each story. The routine helps to settle me in for a cosy sleep. On the odd occasion I don’t have connectivity I just use the set up myself and I’m asleep before I know it.
Kathryn’s voice and tone is soothing.
