Summary

This study looked at how not getting enough sleep affects muscle protein in healthy adults. Twenty participants had 4 days of limited sleep followed by 3 days of recovery with different protein meal schedules. The goal was to see if spreading protein evenly throughout the day helps muscles recover better than eating most protein at one meal.
