Eating heavy food before bedtime brings nightmares?

For me, eating heavy food before bed would result in an upset stomach and difficulty sleeping rather than nightmares.

I think food plays a part but there are other forces that are around also.

It seems a universal thing as even my mother told me that (lol)

I can eat heavy and go to bed. But for some it might add to it.

It might cause nightmares for some but plenty of people have nightmares without eating big meals at night.

I heard this also but i have no idea if theres a scientific basis.

jeez..what are you eating? maybe if it were hot dogs..gives my stomach nightmares anyway..

I don´t have nightmares, but then I don´t eat much at night usually.

Wouldn’t be true. Your stomach has nothing to do with nightmares. Nightmare comes from your Brian in the deep subconscious of your brain where all dreams are made. We have dreams to help us deal with things to hear are really feelings and thoughts that we don’t always express. Fears are something we don’t always expresses and children have them often it’s partnod growing it’s very common for children to go through a stage around age 2-3 to have night terrors where they have nightmares almost every night.

It sometimes seems to work for me that way

Never happened to me.

@WiseGhots I guess I am glad I do not eat late at night. I believe anytime you can have nightmares and not just if you eat late at night.

You are right.nutrionists say that we must chew our food 35x

Well, we should not sleep right after a heavy meal as it is not good for health. For me if I eat heavy, for eg pizza, I will have good dreams, as we believe you dream of what you think about before you sleep.. so pizzas on my mind and pizzas in my dreams..
