Does spicy food give you weird dreams?

Dec 18, 2011 8:02 PM

Does eating spicy food give you weird dreams?

The few times I ate some spicy food before bed, I had some of the craziest dreams of my life. They aren't necessarily nightmares all the time, but just vivid dreams that are stranger than usual.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if this is a real thing (and not just a coincidence), why it happens (if there is any science behind it) and for you to share your weirdest "spicy food dream".

No issues here, and I'd go through a jar of salsa at least once a week, if not more often.

I believe in it. I always get the craziest dreams when I eat a lot of ice cream and drink a lot of wine before sleeping. I don't know which one does it and if it didn't mean I would have to work out every day I'd do it every night. Crazy messed up nightmares are way better than having dreams you can't remember in my book.

No. It just gives me problems in other areas.

I never get weird dreams but there have been reports of a chili that makes you hallucinate.

Hint: It's the Bhut Jolokia chili pepper.

Not spicy food. But if I take NyQuil my dreams become very bizarre.

not spicy for me as well, my Dr. prescribed something he said would help me,(chronic pain) like a glass of wine before bed he said. Those dreams were beyond weird, extremely vivid, I now drink wine before bed, no nightmares, lol

No but if you want to have some really crazy, vivid, lucid dreams take 15mg of melatonin and wait an hour before you lay down, It's wild, I use to hate trying to go to sleep but now I love it, I get to party with P Diddy and hang out with super models and drive race cars and other stuff that I usually only do on the weekends!!

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
