casein and the protein in peanut butter both can take 6-8 hours to digest.............

the protein in peanuts is incomplete, it would be unwise to make it your source of protein because it would limit protein synthesis. Peanuts digest slow because of its mainly fat and fiber the protein has little to do with it.
have some milk with it or cottage cheese before bed and you should be good
but it is good to eat some pb before bed right? so your body is still being fed while you're sleeping?

yes fats are good to take in before bed

absolutely, but don't make the PB your protein source... use it for fats to slow digestion and fiber to slow digestion
