Cheese before bedtime = nightmares ??

There is certainly a correlation for me.

I have noticed countless times that when I eat a lot of cheese before bed my dreams are much more vivid. Not always nightmares, but certainly bigger than normal.
 
I find if I watch the same TV show, ie 24 or something for hours on end, then my whole dream will be based on that.

Upon waking up, I'm more tired than before going to bed :p

You think thats bad?

I work all day, Go to bed and then dream about work and sleeptalk like im actually there.
Then wake up feeling rooted from already working in my sleep and have to go to real work :p:(

This happens quite regulary too:p

I use to have the same problem in the first year of my current job. think it may be down to stress or working with others that are more experienced. stopped happenning after that as I got less stressed at work.

same . i think its just because im not getting a great sleep while my body digests the cheese , i get similarly mad dreams whenever i have a bad nights sleep eg sleeping on a sofa/floor or when i go to sleep drunk as hell
 
Chocolate is the stuff, once when away with my girlfriend for a short stay in a hotel I had a cup of Cadbury's hot chocolate and a Nestle chunky kit-kat (which I was dipping into it) about 30 minutes before I went to sleep.

I woke about 30 minutes after falling asleep shouting out and freaking out full of adrenalin and a feeling of utter dread. I'd had a horrific nightmare about a guy chasing me with a knife, I ended up struggling with him before turning the knife on him, stabbing him in the stomach he just kept coming and the only way I could kill him was to repeatidly stab him in the face and neck.

One of the most graphic and terrifying dreams I have ever had.

Be warned.....Cadburys and Nestle do not mix well in your brain.

LOL...I remember this when I was a 5 year old 43 years ago. Some old wives tale, perhaps to do with the digestive system getting curdled during the night. I was thinking at that age, what if I melt and eat it ?

You sure it wasn't the milk that you had in the hot chocolate?
 
I always thought that this whole myth stems from the days when people would drink port, and have cheese & crackers, at the end of meals, and of course, drinking port, smoking cigars etc, and of course, come the morning, when they are hungover.. blame the cheese, cuz it can't have been the port now could it...
 
I've been having some very bizarre dreams recently, but I don't think there's any correlation to cheese consumption before bed (because I only eat cheese occasionally).

I had that years ago during a very stressful time at work. I'd dream about these crappy situations at work, wake up feeling stressed out about it, then have to get up and do it for real. Not fun :(
