Why do we get nightmares if we eat too soon before going to bed?
In: Biology
A common myth, eating before bed doesn’t necessarily cause nightmares but having an upset stomache while you sleep can influence your dreams.
Eating before bed forces your body to digest rather than rest. We dream the most during periods of light sleep, well we remember the most. So if your aren’t in a deep sleep because of digestion, you’re more likely to recall your dreams, good or bad.
What? This has never happened to me and I’m old.
