CHEESE really can cause nightmares, a study claims.
Experts reckon digesting dairy can cause gut pain that plays havoc with the sleeping brain.
Polls of 1,082 people found those with lactose intolerance reported overall worse quality sleep and significantly more bad dreams, like those with horror film baddie Freddy Krueger.
The researchers suggest even people without the condition might be affected.
They said it is possible that dairy causes “gastrointestinal disturbance” that can disrupt sleep.
Study author Dr Tore Nielsen, from the University of Montreal, in Canada, said: “Nightmares are worse for lactose intolerant people who suffer severe gastrointestinal symptoms and whose sleep is disrupted.
“This makes sense because we know that other bodily sensations can affect dreaming.
“These findings imply that changing eating habits for people with food sensitivities could alleviate nightmares.
“They could also explain why people so often blame dairy for bad dreams.
“We’re routinely asked whether food affects dreaming.
“Now we have some answers.”
