Question: Does eating cheese before going to bed really give you nightmares!?
Or is this just an old wives tale!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
YES! eating cheese on toast or a packet a Cheddars before i go to bed always seems to make me have weird dreams!. Something in the cheese affects the chemical reactions in the brain!. Not true for everyone but it definitely has this effect on me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's an old wives tale but may have had a basis in truth once upon a time!. Before refrigeration and pasteurization, the molds that grew on cheeses were probably quite a bit more interesting than the ones you grow in your refrigerator!. And we're a lot more picky now about consuming something that might be going bad!. So it is possible that back in the dark ages eating cheese at bedtime (probably old cheese since it is late in the day and you've no way of keeping it cool) could cause all sorts of problems, nightmares being one of them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, now that you come to mention it!.!.!.lol!. No, I don't think I have ever had nightmares after eating cheese!. It more than likely came from the middle ages when the rat plague was rampant! There would be nothing worse than waking up to a rat on your face after the left over cheese! Ewwww!.!.that would definitely give ME nightmares!Www@FoodAQ@Com

No But I belive if you have a light coffee and some Tuna 30mins before bed you may have a dream!. Happens to me sometimes when I snack on a small bit of tuna before bed lol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I doubt it

There are claims that cheese can be:

something to help you sleep
