"Effect on sleep
A study by the British Cheese Board in 2005 to determine the effect of cheese upon sleep and dreaming discovered that, contrary to the idea that cheese commonly causes nightmares, the effect of cheese upon sleep was positive. The majority of the two hundred people tested over a fortnight claimed beneficial results from consuming cheeses before going to bed, the cheese promoting good sleep. Six cheeses were tested and the findings were that the dreams produced were specific to the type of cheese. None was found to induce nightmares. However, the six cheeses were all British. The results might be entirely different if a wider range of cheeses were tested.[21] Cheese contains tryptophan, an amino acid that has been found to relieve stress and induce sleep.[22]" From Wikipedia
If I start having nightmares...I don't think I will be able to give it up.

6 types of British cheeses tested over a 14-day period. Not a lot of scientific research going on there! They must not have had funding like the US for these kinds of ridiculous studies!
Try just adding a little low-fat cheese to some dishes...we love it.
Keep up the good work!
well Shelly, I have got to give you credit! I dont know how you are waking up at 4am AND giving up cheese!!! Stick to the low fat cheeses and dont give it up...it will make life a little better :-)
