A few years ago, we told you about a study that paid people to eat cheese. You certainly don’t have to pay me to eat cheese, but who doesn’t love extra cash? Unfortunately, the study was to see if eating cheese causes nightmares. Well, it seems that this is true, according to a study by Frontiers in Psychology. (Thanks to Foodbeast for bringing this to our attention.)
Lactose-intolerant people who consume dairy are more likely to have nightmares, especially if they eat cheese later in the day. I’d imagine the nightmares wouldn’t last long because, well, you’ll probably wake up with an upset stomach before you have a meeting in the bathroom. Out of 1,000 participants, almost twice as many women reported poor sleep compared to men.
When they were asked if they believed food influenced their sleep, 40% of participants said yes. And one in every four of them said that dairy, sweets, and spicy dishes are to blame. I guess we should all start having much more bland dinners, but I ain’t giving up cheese.
