    Is staying in the new going out?

    Is staying in the new going out? Well, according to a new study, it is when you reach the age of 29. This change in social habits aligns with advice from specialists who suggest that endorphins, or 'indoorphins' as they're being called, are boosted by simply enjoying time at home. A significant 93 percent of people polled hold the view that home life is essential for their wellbeing. What do you think? Do you prefer the comfort of home over heading out to socialise from the age of 29? Jess Kelly, Newstalk’s Technology Correspondent and Cathal O’Sullivan, Content Creator with Today FM join Andrea to discuss.
