On the flip side, I get absolutely garbage sleep if I don't eat within about 1-2 hours of going to sleep.

Same - I also read a study saying 22% muscle synthesis increase with 40 grams of casein before bed and one saying protein before bed improved sleep quality.

So a bedtime glass of milk and small bowl of soybeans is a good move?

Yes - unless you have to wake up to pee I guess. Casein is one of the slowest absorbed proteins so it releases over 6 hours in most cases. I think soy beans is probably the same since its mixed in with fiber. If you compare it to whey isolate thats absorbed after 1. This doesn’t have the same effect.

I really feel casein before bedtime improves my sleep drastically! (I have a bucket of micellar casein powder)
