If you cannot get yourself to work out during the day, there is a simple way to build muscle while you sleep. A new review published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition, states, ‘People who drank a casein shake with about 30 grams of protein right before bed on days they lifted and on days they rested, for 12 weeks, gained more muscle mass—about four pounds—and strength than those who drank a non-protein placebo.’ Here’s more.
Contrary to what one may think, drinking a casein shake right before bed doesn’t interfere with sleep.
For best results, have it 10 to 30 minutes before bedtime.
Stick to casein shake only, as there is no evidence to show that other protein sources work well enough.
Working out a few hours before you sleep in addition to having this protein shake can compound the growth of muscles.
