Can your diet affect nightmares? New research offers insight
NEW YORK, July 1: Dairy products could be influencing your dreams — but your gut health seems to play a bigger role. A recent study published Tuesday in the journal Frontiers in Psychology examined people's sleep habits, focusing on their dreams, and compared these with their eating patterns. One key finding was that individuals with more severe lactose intolerance symptoms experienced more intense nightmares. This new research builds on earlier work from 2015, which explored the concept of 'food-dependent dreaming,' or how different foods might affect dreams. 'In the previous study, cheese was often blamed for bad dreams,' explained Tore Nielsen, a psychiatry professor at the University of Montreal and co-author of both studies. 'Our new research offers clearer insights on this.' The study surveyed just over 1,000 participants, primarily students from an undergraduate psychology class, so the results might not reflect the general population. Those who reported severe gastrointestinal issues due to lactose intolerance also reported nightmares that were more frequent, more distressing, lasted longer, and had a greater impact on daily life. Dairy products and sweets were the most common foods participants associated with their bad dreams. Experts say there are plausible reasons why eating cheese before bed might trigger nightmares. Nielsen noted that anxiety linked to lactose intolerance symptoms could contribute to more nightmares. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, director at the Center of Excellence for Sleep & Circadian Research at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, suggested that gastrointestinal discomfort might disrupt sleep, leading to vivid or disturbing dreams. Patrick McNamara, an associate professor of neurology at Boston University who studies sleep and the brain, added that consuming foods that trigger lactose intolerance may cause 'micro-arousals' during sleep. These brief awakenings could lower sleep quality and intensify nightmares. However, both McNamara and the study authors stressed that other factors unrelated to digestive symptoms might also influence dreams. Nielsen expressed interest in further exploring the relationship between dairy and dreaming, and co-author Russell Powell, professor emeritus of psychology at MacEwan University, said they plan to replicate the study with other groups. Meanwhile, Nielsen suggested individuals could monitor their own diets and adjust as needed — changes that don't necessarily require medical advice.

Indian-origin OpenAI researcher joins Meta in latest AI talent shift
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1: In another high-profile departure from OpenAI, Indian-origin researcher Trapit Bansal has joined Meta, marking a significant shift in the competitive landscape of artificial intelligence talent. Bansal, a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore, had been with OpenAI since 2022. During his tenure at the San Francisco-based AI powerhouse, he was instrumental in shaping the company's reinforcement learning research initiatives, working closely with co-founder Ilya Sutskever. He also played a pivotal role in the development of OpenAI's first reasoning model, known as o1. In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Bansal announced his transition to Meta, stating, 'Thrilled to be joining @Meta! Superintelligence is now in sight ????.' Though his exact position at Meta has not been disclosed, the post indicates he may be joining Meta's recently established Superintelligence Labs. The formation of Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) was revealed earlier this week in an internal memo by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The new division is expected to oversee the company's most advanced AI research. It will be led by Scale AI founder and CEO Alexandr Wang, with former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman serving as co-lead. According to Bloomberg, Zuckerberg described Wang as 'the most impressive founder of his generation.' Bansal's departure comes shortly after another key OpenAI researcher, Lucas Beyer, also moved to join Meta's superintelligence team, highlighting an intensifying competition for AI talent among tech giants. Before joining OpenAI full-time, Bansal held research internships at Microsoft and Google. His academic credentials include a Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics from IIT Kanpur, in addition to his research work at IISc. As Meta ramps up its efforts to develop cutting-edge AI systems, the addition of top researchers like Bansal underscores the company's growing ambitions in the field of artificial superintelligence.

Scorching Summer Season Begins From July 3 In Kuwait
KUWAIT CITY, June 29: The Al-Ajari Scientific Center has announced that the Twaiba season will end on July 3, marking the beginning of the First Gemini season, which will last for 13 days. This period is expected to bring a significant rise in temperatures. The Center noted that the First Gemini season is considered the hottest part of the year, particularly during the daytime. It extends until July 15, during which the sun begins its shift southward toward the equator. In addition to soaring temperatures, the season is marked by intense dryness and the blowing of hot winds, which amplify the sun's already scorching heat. This period is also referred to as "Al-Haq'ah" in the solar and lunar calendars. The Center highlighted that during this season, the sun reaches its peak intensity, with noticeable changes in its movement, tilt, and the return of shadows, especially after being directly overhead during the summer solstice. This seasonal transition signals the sun's retreat from its northernmost point, marking the return of longer nights and a shift often referred to as 'the turning away,' which is closely associated with the onset of extreme summer heat.
