You won’t believe this, but there’s actually a British Cheese Board. And they ran a study on this exact question. They gave 200 volunteers a small piece of cheese 30 minutes before bed. Every single night.
And what happened? No one reported having actual nightmares. In fact, most people said they slept better. The fun part? Different cheeses gave people different dreams. Stilton gave people weird dreams about talking animals. Cheddar gave dreams about celebrities. Wait, what?
So the science says: cheese is mostly innocent. But that doesn’t stop your brain from playing tricks on you. If you think eating cheese will give you nightmares, guess what? You’ll probably have one. The power of suggestion is stronger than a double espresso.
