As a child I rememebr my mom and teachers always telling me to eat a big breakfast before an exam. That way I would be fueled and my brain functionality would kick in high gear. As a mother I find myself telling my son and daughter the same thing and preparing a nice hearty breakfast before their exams as well.
So this line of questioning got me thinking if food can affect how you perform on tests and in school. well then can food affect your dreams at night while sleeping?
So you know me I satrted asking around and researching some answers… according to some eating before bed has the ability to trigger an increase in the body’s metabolism and brain activity, and is a potential stimulus for nightmares.
I know that the smell of food can affect dream content, a perfect example is one morning I was frying bacon downstairs and my uncle was visiting and he woke up from his sleep, where he was dreaming of eating bacon and eggs, and came down stairs saying the smell woke him up.
What do you think… Do you think food has the ability to affect your dreams?
