h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Is there any truth to the old wives tale that eating cheese before you go to bed makes you dream. I would like to dream more as think you are in a better frame of mind when you wake up the next morning.

Maybe someone knows of alternatives to cheese?

I also remember someone saying that dreaming did for your brain what hard disk defragmentation did for your PC - get things sorted out for what the next day might throw at you. Seems as good an argument as any for doing more of it...

Comments welcome

Hi Prunesquallor, you've posted this question to a page about driving, so you might get more of a respose if you post on Ask h2g2 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/askh2g2). Plus old-timers are away at the meet so it should be fairly quiet round here, so don't be worried if no one replies till monday.

BTW, I'd heard this old wives tale too.

Thanks.

I did realise that it was the wrong place to put this item just AFTER sent it. I didn't realise that I was still in a conversation area for a particular topic. You are right that askh2g2 would have been better.

I won't make that mistake again!

Prunesquallor.

No matter, I'm sure nobody minded

"I didn't realise that I was still in a conversation area for a particular topic."

On h2g2 all the conversation forums are tied to specific pages, there are no 'general' forums, unless they're attached to some 'general' page.
