Explainer: Can cheese make you have weird dreams?
Is it possible that cheese really can cause strange dreams? Maybe. Jake Port explains.
It’s common folk wisdom that eating cheese can give you nightmares. But is this really the case?
The question hasn’t been extensively studied with scientific rigour, but we might find some answers by looking at how cheese can influence the brain.
Our brains are directed by a range of hormones including serotonin, which promotes relaxation and sleepiness, adrenalin, which acts as a stimulant, and testosterone, which regulates libido, fat distribution and strength.
