Does Chocolate Give you nightmares?

[squeakage]

Kether said it's the serotonin in cheese that gives you nightmares

 

I had a big bag on minstrals last night and I had this dream about this artist woman who kept appearing above you in a floaty dress and tried to kill you.

 

She killed a few people but we believed that she had changed and we let her back in (not my decision) the next thing I knew she was trying to strangle me and I woke up!

 

Is the chocolate to blame?

yep in a word it does, they say not to eat chocolate & cheese before bedtime

Never works for me.

It's just eating in general before bed that may give you disturbed sleep. would explain it but i can't be arsed and i'm not fully awake yet

[Guest]

I find I have rude dreams if I eat too much chocolate before bed :$

hence more blood goes to your digestion, less blood to your brain. Less blood to brain while sleeping > nightmares
