Nothing much happens: bedtime stories to help you sleep

By: iHeartPodcasts
  • 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
    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.

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.
