Cottage cheese has a majority of slow absorbing casein protein. This is necessary before bed because you are essentially in a fasted state for 8+ hours while sleeping. Many people actually wake up in the middle of the night and either make a protein shake or eat a small, light meal to avoid the extended catabolic state.
