What happens to my muscles if I don't take some form of protein RIGHT before I sleep? 
That makes sense. Is it better to eat protein before or after a workout?
Generally, it's recommended to consume protein after a workout to aid in muscle recovery and repair. However, if you haven't eaten in a while prior to your workout, it may be beneficial to have some protein beforehand to give your body the energy it needs to perform.
