TORONTO, June 12, 2023 – Food specific effects, food-induced distress, folklore influences and casual misattributions are the four strands that explain the food-dependent dreaming. Alex Savy, Editor-in-Chief of the popular blog ComfyNorth from Canada, has published numerous online articles reviewing furniture such as beds, mattresses or kitchen supplies in order to improve people’s decision making for home comfort.
Associations between sleep characteristics, dietary habits and motivations as an influence to bizarre and disturbing dreams were studied several times over the last century. Diet quality and sleep dissatisfaction were the main focus of them as shown as follows:

1. Dairy foods
Dairy foods such as cheese, milk or poutine were topping the list of nightmare instigators. They will lower the quality of our sleep and it will be more likely to remember what we have just dreamed of that night as a result of the lack of good sleep.
2. Sugary foods
Studies have shown sugary food such as chocolate bars, cotton candy or biscuits as promoters of body heat. They are prone to cause uncomfortable and suffocating sleeping routines.
3. Spicy or Starchy foods
Spicy and starchy foods have become members of the cause-and-effect list of nightmare inducing foods. Their nutritious composition can turn into a correlation of vivid dreams for people overnight.
4. Greasy or junk food
Greasy food has been shown several times as the hardest food to digest for the body. As a result, they have become known for making you wake up a greater number of times, tossing and turning during the night.
5. Meat
Lastly, meat has also become one of the top 5 foods inducing nightmares. The problem with eating meat before bedtime is the amount of fat and high protein that it contains. It will be harder for your body to break it down.
Other nightmare inducing factors
Sleeping dissatisfaction was not only associated with food. Emotional (stress or personal low self esteem) and material (mattresses or home decor) matters may lead to poor sleeping routines. ComfyNorth Editor-in-Chief Alex Savy commented, “When overenthusiastic advertising claims overwhelm you and contradictory user reviews make you feel even more confused, we come to shed light on the products you’re interested in. We try to give you the most comprehensive information on both the best-selling items and lesser-known brands so that you know exactly what you’re buying.”
Likewise, studies reported that certain nutrients have been shown to impact sleep in a way of improvement or retrogression. Nevertheless, as mentioned above, there are plenty of factors that may impact sleeping dissatisfaction. Studies have determined healthier diets and more controlled eating were a direct cause for better sleeping.
Comfortable bedroom furniture or delicate food storage can have a positive effect on a healthy sleeping routine, as well. Savy added, “Our reviews cover a wide range of items and accessories for both your indoor and outdoor areas. From big to small, from furniture to milk frothers, we sift through items in different categories to point out those that bring the best value for money and can make your home a better place.”
