A late night cheese session ever feels to send you your own personal individual Sorrowful on Elm StreetYou are probably not alone. Today research has revealed a link between lactose intolerance and high risk of bad dreams.
In Canada, scientists surveyed college students and studied. Those who had regularly reported bad dreams and poor sleep in general were also more likely to report food allergies including lactose intolerance. Researchers estimated that crisis caused by people’s stomach issues may leak in our non-awake hours.
“The results that we have achieved have confirmed their hypothesis that lactose intolerance is really disturbed dreams and bad dreams.”
The idea that the foods we eat, especially cheese or other dairy products, can spoil our sleep, hardly new. For example, in the early 1900s, American cartoonist Visar McKake created a popular newspaper comic strip-Dream of rareness– It regularly painted people after eating something after eating something bad dreams or strange dreams. Often, this trigger food was one Welsh rarebitA popular British dish of cheese on toast.
But according to Powell, this phenomenon has not actually been scientifically studied too much. A decade ago, the same team published a survey in which it was found that about 20% of the participants Informed Having bizarre dreams, he felt that some foods were associated with eating or eating late at night, with many convicted dairy products. In his latest study, Powell and his colleagues were expecting to repeat their earlier conclusions, in addition to the reasons behind people’s cheese-swollen nights to dig.
Researchers surveyed more than 1,000 college students (sample size over twice the 2015 study) about their diet and sleep habits. About 40% of the respondents felt that some foods or late night Chowing affected her sleep, 25% felt that their diet had spoiled their sleep. This time, only 5.5% blamed foods for influencing their dream content, but dairy, spicy foods, and sweets were usually blamed among those guilty among those. Researchers also found that self-reported lactose intolerance was associated with more severe nightmare and poor sleep, as other food allergies. Unexpectedly, lactose intolerance was associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, while those who commonly reported a low healthy diet, they have more difficulty to make more difficulty in remembering their dreams and their dreams.
The team’s conclusions were Published On Tuesday in psychology, both Frontiers (both current and 2015 studies direct reference Dream of rareness In his title).
As anyone knows with lactose intolerance, craving for a dairy can cause a lot of GI pain and inflammation. And the reason for researchers is that these symptoms can awaken people or waste their dreams more subtle – an explanation that can spread to other similar types of pain.
“It may be that the GI crisis, compared to other types of physical crisis, has a particularly strong effect on gold and dreaming. For example, there has also been a menstrual cramps. Shown To increase the possibility of harassed dreams, “Powell said. He further states that since the symptoms of GI can be due to poison, our dairy bad dreams can be the body’s way of keeping ourselves alert in terms of medical emergency.
Researchers want to experimentally confirm their research, such as a test that directly compare how lactose-discounted people sleep and dream after either eating or dairy. Powell believes that it will also be interesting to study whether food sensitivity can directly contribute to some people’s nightmare disorders.
nearby One third Americans have trouble digesting lactose, although not everyone feels ill after something. And given how annoying lactose intolerance is already, these conclusions can give more encouragement to stay away from late night dairy. I personally know that the next time the ice cream will be more likely to arrive for the evening sorbet scoop.
