Putting relaxation techniques to the test

From Sunday Morning, 11:20 am on 23 March 2025

Riddled with anxiety and regularly waking in the middle of the night, journalist Jack Rear knew he was stressed - but none of the usual stuff was helping. So Rear, who is a writer for British publication The Telegraph, decided to experiment with some relaxation techniques. 

After doing some research and designing a scoring system, Rear embarked on several de-stressing exercises – from sheep cuddling to cold water swimming. He joins Jim to discuss what he discovered.
