Chocolate inducing nightmares?

    I am normally a person not given to having nightmares.

    I could merrily wolf down a pizza with extra cheese, wash it down with a pint-glass of Diet-Coke and sleep like a baby.

    However, for the last couple of weeks I've been eating small amounts of chocolate before retiring and I have to say I've been having the most intense mind-twisting nightmares.

    Has anyone else experienced this with chocolate?

    I'm partial to the odd bit of chocolate but I've never noticed it affecting my dreams.

    There's some research about chocolate aggravating a specific sleep disorder

    Are you 'thrashing about' at all in your sleep? :)

    You know what they say about chocolate? Well, I have had similar dreams when drifting off after having eaten some.
