We've all had moments when anxiety and stress have interrupted our sleep, resulting in us feeling exhausted and irritable the next day.

But what can we do to stop it?

Sleep consultant, Tom Coleman joined Dermot and Dave to answer your questions on all things sleep.

As part of a weeklong, Mind Yourself Now special to mark World Mental Health day, Tom had advice on everything from waking up during the night to whether or not we should actually be napping.

The 2 Johnnies Take On...sees the lads trying to understand things that have perplexed them by speaking to experts, stars and taking on some big challenges.

One of the challenges was to go viral on TikTok, and it didn't quite turn out the way they had imagined.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, the lads revealed what finally pushed them into viral-dom, how they got on painting with Don Conroy and why they have to apologise to seals.

Most people have been in a situation where they feel uncomfortable around others. It could be in a large group in a pub or restaurant, or it could be something as every day as being in the office.
