Suzanne shared a simple breathing exercise for listeners to follow.

High doses of caffeine aren't the solution when it comes to exam fatigue.

That's according to a health scientist and sleep coach, who recommends short bursts of adrenaline rather than two shots of espresso.

As the Leaving Cert approaches next week, some students are opting for all-nighters rather than a full night's sleep.

Tom Coleman says prioritising sleep and mental breaks is a good starting point for stressed teens.

Meanwhile, Susannah Morrissey from Om Wellness in Naas, said regular breaks, good sleep and focusing on your breath are key to handling stress.

Speaking on Kildare Today, she shared this breathing exercise with listeners.
