How to Build Muscle While You Sleep

If you're like me and train 5-6 days a week for about 1.5 hours a session you know the feeling of deflating muscles....how sad....its sad and gloomy, what if there was a way to continue building those muscles while you sleep?

MAX'S Nitetime Protein is a high protein / low carbohydrate formula specifically designed to be taken before retiring to bed to help build lean muscle while you sleep. The unique slow release formula is suitable for intermediate and advanced level trainers with high training loads to ensure optimum recovery and lean muscle growth.
Build Muscle While You Sleep
After hard weight training studies show that most muscle growth (up to 40%) occurs during the REM phase of sleep, the deep satisfying sleep that occurs when you dream and are truly rested. But growth only occurs if your muscle can get enough protein during this phase. Fast release proteins like WPI don't stay in your system long enough. MAX'S Nitetime Protein provides a sustained release for up to 7 hours to maximize muscle recovery and growth while the calming herbs help you awake rested and full of energy.
MAX'S Sustained Release Protein System
By blending a mix of medium and slow release proteins into one formula, the protein blend in MAX'S Nitetime Protein provides peptides and amino acids to your muscles for up to 7 hours while you sleep. The Sustained Release System consists of the following protein components:
Micellar Casein - is an ultra slow digesting and absorbing, anti catabolic protein that actually prevents muscle breakdown after hard training and encourages muscle growth. This unique new form of Casein is refined to keep the milk peptide molecules intact, producing an un-denatured, highly bioactive protein to stimulate growth and improve health. Clinical trials show Micellar Casein can sustain elevated blood amino acids levels for up to 7 hour to maximize growth while you sleep.
Calcium Caseinate - is a slow digesting and absorbing protein that is ideal for night use and for trainers with a faster metabolism. During digestion it releases a multitude of bioactive peptides to enhance response and improve metabolic processes.
Whey Protein Concentrate (instantised) - is a medium digesting and absorption protein derived from milk. This highly bioactive whey protein has a superior muscle building amino acid profile and contains high levels of immune and health enhancing protein fractions including Lactoglobulin, Lactoalbumin, Glycomacropeptides, Bovine Serum Albumin, Immunoglobulins, Lactoferrin, Lactoperoxidase, and the Growth Factors IGF-1, IGF-2 & TGF.
Complementing this advanced Protein Matrix are the following nutrients to support maximum muscle growth and restful sleep:
Skullcap and Chamomile - are medicinal herbs that exhibit many reported benefits including promoting calmness, reducing anxiety and inducing sleep without side effects.
L-Glutamine - the most important amino acid after heavy training, it prevents muscle tissue catabolism and stimulates muscle recovery and growth while you sleep to help build lean, hard muscle.
Vitamins and Minerals - these micronutrients are vital components of all muscle building biochemistry and are included to ensure optimal recovery and growth.
Tips for Sleep
  • Limit caffeine and alcohol. Avoid drinking caffeinated or alcoholic beverages for several hours before bedtime. Although alcohol may initially act as a sedative, it can interrupt normal sleep patterns.
  • Don't smoke. Nicotine is a stimulant and can make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep.
  • Don't exercise too late in the day. Exercise stimulates your body and may make falling asleep more difficult.
  • Check your iron level. Iron deficiency can disrupt sleep patterns. Use a good quality mineral supplement containing Iron. Red meat is also a good source of iron.
  • Make sure you have a good sized comfortable bed and good quality supportive pillows. Natural fibre sheets are also comfortable and help regulate your temperature.
  • Make sure your bedroom is calm and comfortable. Good ventilation, a consistent temperature and a quite environment also help.
  • If you get anxious about time, hide your alarm clock so you can't see it when lying in bed.
  • Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday, even on the weekends. This helps your body expect sleep at the same time each day.
  • Learn to relax before sleeping. Light yoga, herbal tea or reading your favourite bodybuilding mag can help.
  • Nitetime Protein, because of its high natural levels of the amino acid Tryptophan and the herbs Chamomile and Skullcap, will also help your brain produce the sleep hormone Serotonin which helps signal sleep time to your body.
  • Avoid sleeping medications and "over-the-counter" sleep aids. Many of these simply don't work.
  • If you can't sleep, practice relaxation techniques such as clearing your mind, then focussing on relaxing your whole body, starting at your toes and working slowly up to your head.
  • If you are having trouble sleeping, try changing your bed times and routines around to find a solution that works for you.
Serving Suggestion: Mix 1 - 2 level scoops in 500ml of milk or 300 ml of water and mix in a blender or shaker for 30 - 45 seconds (each level scoop is approx. 30 grams). Take 30 minutes before retiring to bed. This product is designed to be taken in conjunction with a nutritious diet and a suitable weight training or fitness program.
