Eating dairy products and sweets before bed can trigger nightmares.
The British publication Mirror reports this, citing experts.
British doctors strongly advise against eating dairy products and especially sweets such as chocolate and biscuits at night.
These products increase body temperature and disrupt sleep patterns.
According to Dr. Charles Bay, when the body is working hard to digest food, there is a high probability that a person will wake up in the middle of the night and have more eerie dreams.
Eating before bed may induce more dreams because late night snacks increase metabolism and body temperature, the Mirror quotes the doctor as saying.
