I typically stay away from carbs before bed. I usually do a casein shake w/ water, add glutamine & flax oil & one scoop of peanut butter. Sometimes I'll just eat no fat cottage cheese & 1/4 cup unsalted almonds. All depends on what you are attempting to achieve.

Consider that you need less energy throughout the night! If you are on a bulking diet, it could be that the carbs will be stored as fat while you sleep. So it could increase you body fat. If you want to avoid this, stay away from carbs lately. But in general it should be no problem if it fits in your macro's, as "berzerker" mentioned before.
But eating oats is always much better than eating chocolate or other foods with a lot of sugar. Sugar produces an insulin spike which eases the body to store excessive calories as fat.gain, gain, gain...

The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and hear all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. ~Henry Rollins
