New research suggests that dairy products, cheese in [peculiar / particular] , could give people nightmares. Research published in the journal "Frontiers in Psychology" found [what / that] people with a severe lactose intolerance were more [prone / prove] to bad dreams and [insomnia / insomniac] . Professor Marie-Pierre St-Onge, director of the Dream and Nightmare Lab in Montreal, Canada, analyzed [a / the] diet, health and sleep patterns of more than 1,000 people. She wanted to investigate the degree to [that / which] food affected dreams. She based her research [on / in] a 2015 study that looked [onto / into] "food-dependent dreaming". [Participants / Participates] in the 2015 study blamed cheese and other dairy products for [disturbance / disturbing] their sleep.
Dr St-Onge [discovered / discovery] that people with gastrointestinal problems and lactose intolerance had [scarred / scarier] and more [frequent / frequently] nightmares. She said: "If you have gastrointestinal issues, that could account [to / for] a lot of what's happening in [teams / terms] of sleep disturbances that could be associated [with / of] different dreams." Her colleague, Dr Tore Nielsen, said: "Sleep disturbances affect a huge proportion [at / of] the general population. One large survey found that 30-40 per cent of individuals will have a [clinically / clinic] significant sleep disorder in their lifetime." Previous research suggests that about 85 per cent of adults have a nightmare [at / for] least once a year, with about 5 per cent of people [experiencing / experiential] them frequently.
