What really happens to things you swallow, sentence 10
There is no good evidence that cheese gives you nightmares (the idea got a push from Dickens's Scrooge blaming "a crumb of cheese" for a ghost); a big, heavy meal late at night can disturb sleep, whatever the food.
Who acts: good evidence, cheese, idea, Scrooge, big heavy meal · What happens: be, give, get, blame, disturb · To what, where: nightmares, you, push, Scrooge, crumb, sleep
