I take 20 g a night, usually RIGHT BEFORE sleep. I get about 6-9 hours of sleep, 8 on my better days. I know I'm not 100% anabolic the longer I sleep, but I wonder if I should be taking a larger dose?

I'd take about 30g to be safe

50g

50 g, really? I would think that would be the top number at most.

8 hours of sleep...to me thats 4 meals gone. wake up in the middle of the night and have a shake or do what that*forgot his name* bodybuilder does, wake up at 2am and eat a steak

This is ridiculous advice and can cut into deep sleep. The basis is there, but the chances of disturbing natural sleep cycles and deep sleep is there as well.

Id get in at least 25 grams of protein in your final meal. I like using healthy fats here as they slow down digestion as well, like peanut butter, almond butter, or whatever.
