    If you're eating a substantial protein source at dinner (e.g. beef), having a meal before you hit the pillow really isn't going to make or break anything. As stated earlier, if it helps you sleep better, go for it. If it feels forced. I'd opt not to. In either case, make sure you have your macros worked out to include ( or exclude) it in/from your diet.

    Milk protein is part whey, part casein (not equal parts however). The casein is slow digesting, the whey obviously isn't. Tis' why some people consider milk a 'perfect' food, once you consider the complete macro profile (of whole milk).

    Milk is approx 80% casein and 20% whey. When it is processed Into supplement powders most of the lactose is removed. Lactose is a carb and carbs inhibit GH release because They spike insulin. Straight whey also spikes insulin. Casein curdles in the stomach blunting insulin release.

    So, milk = no
    Whey = no
    Casein = yes
    NO SOURCES GIVEN
