Whether it is important or not is very debatable unless there have been any scientific studies proving its' worth but a lot of people drink a pre-bed protein drink. A lot will use casein protein as it breaks down slower than whey.

Tell me, is it ok to leave your muscles on a fast for 8+ hours? Answer is no.
Take a casein protein shake before you go to bed, a poor mans substitute is Cottage cheese (I mix it with PB and Splenda). It slow digesting so it pretty much feeds your muscles throught the night. In the morning I wake up and down a quick whey protein shake (cuz its cheaper and helps me eat breakfast).

As I said, scientific evidence or it is debatable. If you think that taking a pre-bed shake is necessary to stop muscle catabolism then that it your opinion and nothing more without scientific studies to prove otherwise.
Purely anecdotal but I notice better recovery, less soreness, etc from taking a casein shake and my ibcaa's at night, just my own experience no study to back me up
