Dairy eating before bed can give you nightmares, the study indicates that the study suggests

It seems that the cheese session late at night was sending you your character A nightmare on Al Dardar Street? Maybe you are not alone. Research today revealed a link between lactose intolerance and greater risk of bad dreams.

Scientists in Canada conducted a study conducted by university students. They found that people who reported regular nightmares and weak sleep in general were more likely to report food allergy, including lactose intolerance. Researchers speculate that the distress caused by stomach problems for people can leak to our unstable hours.

“The results we obtained, that the results we obtained in the hypothesis that the lactose intolerance is already predicting the turbulent dream and nightmares,” said the author of the study, Ross Powell, a psychologist and a professor of Fakhri at McQoyan University in Edmonton, Alberta, to the participant in the study.

The idea that the foods we eat, especially cheese or other dairy products, can increase our bad sleep are not new. In the early twentieth century, for example, the American cartoonist Winsur Macai created a popular comedy tape –A rare evil dreamPeople are routinely characterized by people who get strange nightmares or dreams after eating something less than acceptable. Often, this was the trigger Wales NaderA famous British dish of cheese on toast.

But according to Powell, this phenomenon was not truly studied scientifically. A decade ago, this team published the same poll that discovered that nearly 20 % of the participants I mentioned The presence of strange dreams they felt associated with eating some foods or eating late at night, with many dairy products in particular. In their latest studies, Powell and his colleagues were hoping to repeat their previous results, as well as drilling a little deeper into the reasons behind the nightmares of people with cheese flavor.

The researchers have wiped more than 1,000 university students (more than twice the size of a 2015 study sample) on their eating habits and sleep. About 40 % of the respondents felt that some foods or cramping late at night affected their sleep, when they felt 25 % exacerbated their meals. This time, only 5.5 % blame foods to influence the content of their dreams, but the dairy, hot foods and sweets were usually blaming between those who did so. The researchers also found that self -reported lactose intolerance was linked to the most severe nightmare and weak sleep, as well as food allergies. It is not surprising, lactose intolerance has been associated with the symptoms of the digestive system, while people who reported less healthy meals in general tend to get more nightmares and have more difficulty in calling their dreams.

The team’s results were Published Tuesday in the limits of psychology (both the current study and 2015 indicate directly A rare evil dream In their address).

As anyone who suffers from lactose intolerance knows, indulging in dairy passion can cause a lot of digestive and bloating pain. And the reason for the researchers that these symptoms can provoke people wake up or destroy more with their dreams – an explanation that may extend to other similar types of pain.

“The digestive system, compared to other types of physical distress, may have a particularly strong impact on sleep and dream. Menstrual spasm, for example, was also He appears “To increase the possibility of a dreaming dream.” Powell said. Its theoretically increases that since the symptoms of the digestive system can be caused by poison, our dairy nightmares may be the body’s way to maintain itself in the case of medical emergency.

Researchers want to emphasize their research experimentally, such as the experience that directly compares how people who bear lactose and dream after eating or avoiding dairy. Powell believes it will also be interesting to study whether food allergies can contribute directly to the nightmares of some people.

around third Of the Americans, they are difficult to digest lactose, although not everyone feels sick after some. Looking at the already incomplete lactose intolerance, these results may provide an additional incentive to stay away from the milk late at night. Personally, I know that I will be more likely to get to an evening script over ice cream next time.
