You heard it here first, you CAN eat before bed and have it be useful. Of course, context matters though.

How much protein should you eat before going to sleep?

Recent work has shown that overnight muscle protein synthesis rates are restricted by the level of amino acid availability. Protein ingested prior to sleep is effectively digested and absorbed, and thereby stimulates muscle protein synthesis rates during overnight recovery.
Recent studies investigating the impact of pre-sleep protein ingestion suggest that at least 40g of protein is required to display a robust increase in muscle protein synthesis rates throughout overnight sleep.
Muscle protein synthesis rates are particularly low during sleep, even when 20g protein is ingested immediately after exercise performed in the evening. Protein ingested immediately prior to sleep is effectively digested and absorbed, thereby increasing amino acid availability during overnight sleep.
At least 40 g of dietary protein should be ingested prior to sleep to elicit a robust stimulation of muscle protein synthesis rates throughout the night. Resistance-type exercise performed during the day augments the overnight muscle protein synthetic response to pre-sleep protein ingestion and allows more of the protein-derived amino acids to be used as precursors for de novo muscle protein synthesis. When applied during prolonged resistance-type exercise, pre-sleep protein supplementation can be used effectively to further increase gains in muscle mass and strength.
