I mix whey protein with milk right before I go to sleep and drink it. Is this ok? Since I go about 8-9 hours without eating due to sleep, I feel this is a good time to digest some protein. Is it OK to drink protein before bed?

a caseinate/egg shake would be a better choice.

casein is slow digesting protein which is in milk. so you are fine (since you said you mix whey and milk together)

I'll usually take a blended protein drink (i use pro blend 55). You want to stay away from isolates or concentrates as they will be delivered and digested rather quickly.

whey and casein wont work, the whey will get to the stomach before the milk does

just because whey dissapates very fast, I only use it imediatly after a workout. I usually settle for some casein/milk before bed.
a glass, maybe two. ah, milk is great, humans were never ment to have dairy. lol.light a man a fire and he'll be warm for a night.
set the man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Well, why's absortion is quite fast, but the fact you use milk means you've got cassein (protein) and lactose (sugar) to digest the rest of the night and keep your stomach entertained. Its not the top of the range, but since your muscles grow when you're sleeping, its still a good choice.

Yes. You can get anabolic at night by using a whey/casein protein shake. Have one before bed, and one during the night.

You can develop nocturnal eating syndrome from waking up in the middle of the night and eating....Originally posted by Jean Schernoff

RockECU talked about this several times because he developed it after waking up in the middle of the night and drinking protein shakes.

I wouldn't recommend Whey before bed. I personally drink 3 cups of skim milk before I go to sleep.
