Nothing much happens: bedtime stories to help you sleep

By: iHeartPodcasts
Listen for free

  • 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

    Pie Making
    Nov 18 2024

    Our story tonight is called Pie Making, and it’s a story about an evening at the bakery with ready workstations and clean aprons. It’s also about an urn of hot cocoa ready on the counter, pastry cutters and crimped crusts, and the stages of learning that eventually allow us to play.

    We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to the Union of Concerned Scientists. They work using rigorous, independent science to solve our planet's most pressing concerns.

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.
