First off, how did you get into that? And then what are some of your big takeaways from the research you've done so far?

Yeah, the pre-sleep feeding's probably what we're most well known for.

For better or worse, it's just been a lane that we were really interested in.

It was actually my first study that I ran when I was a brand new assistant professor at Florida State University.

And the reason it happened was I like to ask questions that I see in my daily life.

And I like to also ask questions that will impact other people.

Um, for me, a scientist can ask a certain question that would be beneficial to a small group, or you can just sort of reframe what that question means and how it might impact a broader audience.

So what you're saying is when they had protein before bed compared to nothing, They recovered faster, were able to get back to performing optimally at a faster rate compared to those who didn't have protein before bed.

But what are your thoughts on that? Because for me, it shortens the protein feeding window if we're just looking at hitting protein overall.

Yeah, so kind of two things.

To close out or maybe part of that other conversation, I think it's important too that people understand that what I'm referring to in all of these are research studies with many people.

And if you know that anytime you eat anything, you don't sleep well, then that's true for you.

And you need to pay attention to that.

So even if the literature says one thing, you need to know how you respond to it.

So I love how you said you experimented with it last night.

um
