hey gbrice - i don't have the science to back you up, but you've seen my food log. i do fasted cardio in the am (6 or 7am) before work. i then work a job until 6ish, and hit the gym at 7 until 8 or 830pm. my postworkout shake is 830pm, dinner sometimes not until 9pm, and i hit the sack at 1030/11pm.
anyways, i've lost 15.5 lbs doin this routine. i don't think the timing of the workouts in proximity to sleep has a MAJOR effect on the body. as long as the macro's are on point, 1 or 2 sessions of working out are done, i think goals can be met (bulk or cut). again, nothing scientific to back it up, just my personal experience.
i too thought about your topic, and the thought of specifically having carbs (oats/sweet potato) SO close to my bedtime that i didn't think it would work. i agree with the poster above that your body sucks in those nutrients since you have your counts down to a T; i dont think sleeping has a negative impact on NOT utilizing the food as intended.
