Photo by Daria-Yakovleva/Pixabay.com Jan. 23 (UPI) -- A mattress-reviewing website is seeking study participants willing to get paid $1,000 to eat cheese snacks before going to sleep.

Sleep Junkie announced it is seeking five "dairy dreamers" for a study that seeks to address the commonly held belief that consuming cheese or other dairy products before bed leads to nightmares.

"We also want to look at, if this is true, do different cheeses have more of an effect than others?" the company's post states.

The five chosen dairy dreamers will be asked to track their sleep and provide written evaluations of their sleep quality, energy level throughout the day and reports on dreams and nightmares after consuming various cheese products before going to sleep.

"We're also aware that it isn't just nightmares that can play havoc on a good night's sleep so we wanted to see if there was a link between the different types of cheese and other symptoms that can leave you feeling unrested," Sleep Junkie spokeswoman Dorothy Chambers said in the announcement.

The study will last for three months. Applications are being accepted through Feb. 10.

I’ve been eating a lot of cheese lately.

“commonly held belief that consuming cheese or other dairy products before bed leads to nightmares.”

In the past, lots of people used to drink warm milk to help them go to sleep.

That "Power of Cheese" ad campaign had its moments...

Still good for a chuckle.

Take heart amid the deepening gloom, that your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

I’ll have to try this. I haven’t had a nightmare since I was a kid.

I do these sometimes; one time I got $50 and a huge bunch of gourmet ice cream I had to eat.

Even to this day when I get the cheese out of the refrigerator my dogs come running and I announce, “BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE”!
