while sleeping, we stay without food for at least 8 hours and our body gets in a catabolic stage...so it is important that before bed we give some protein to our body..but it is better that the protein is not fast absorbed but slowly absorbed so we have amino-acids through our body during the whole night and not the first 2-3 hours(that's how long takes for whey to be absorbed)...if your protein shake is with casein protein then it's ok..or you can better have some cottage cheese that also contains casein(slowly absorbed protein)...

Yes, The protein shake you are taking is diluted with water; therefore the more water you drink in a short succession to drinking your shake, the more diluted it becomes. Try waiting a little while after you drink your shake before drinking an excessive amount of water. - Tony

How much better is it to have a protein shake before a workout?

You don't exactly need a protein shake before your workout. A protein shake is best taken right after you are finished with your workout. After your workout your muscles have begun to break down and the faster you take in some protein the faster your muscles will recover. I would only recommend taking protein at other times of the day if you are not recieving the approximate amount of protein you need through your diet.
