Using BCAA in the middle of the night question?

[Cajuntank]

Hey Jordan, was pondering something and wanted to get your thoughts. I suffer from older guy problems of having to get up in the middle of the night and urinate. Sometimes I can get back to sleep without issue, sometimes it takes me a bit. Was wondering if I should be hitting the BCAAs those times when I'm up a bit to further gainz?

I think you could try it and see if it affects you going back to bed. It'd be a little step towards improving recovery :-)

hmm, what about taking them just before bed? Assuming it's more than 90 minutes since last eating, would this help, or am I just wasting BCAAs? I need every bit of recovery help I can get!

That'd be okay- though some people report troubles sleeping after BCAAs at night.

I'll try it and report back
