New research published in Frontiers in Psychology suggests that dairy products may be linked to intense nightmares. A study surveyed over 1,000 participants and found that those with severe lactose intolerance symptoms reported more frequent and distressing nightmares. Participants commonly blamed dairy and sweets for their bad dreams. Experts speculate that anxiety from lactose intolerance or sleep disturbances due to gastrointestinal issues could contribute to the link between dairy consumption and nightmares. While more research is needed to fully understand this connection, individuals can consider their diets and make informed decisions about potential changes. Researchers plan to replicate the findings in other groups to further explore this phenomenon. (Nbcnews)
