Is Nothing Much Happens good for insomnia?
Nothing Much Happens is particularly effective for people whose insomnia is driven by anxiety or an overactive mind. The gentle, descriptive stories redirect attention away from stressful thoughts. The twice-told format (normal speed then slower) naturally slows your mental pace. Pairing with ambient sounds after the episode helps maintain sleep.
