Are there any benefits in taking Casein protein?

People often wonder if it is a good idea to take Casein protein before going to bed.
The logic behind it is it takes longer to digest and hence when you go to sleep it releases 
protein gradually and the starved muscles can live off it through the night.
Is there any truth to it?
What is casein?
Casein protein is an excellent source of amino acids,

Prolonged use of casein has been found to produce cancer. In fast scientists were able to turn the cancer generation on and off by altering the levels of casein in the diet. 


Should I take it or not?
Sometimes slower is better - especially when it comes to the rate of protein digestion. While rapid protein absorption is desirable immediately before or after exercise, delayed release is probably more beneficial throughout the remainder of the day.Casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take more than twice as long for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid sub components than whey and other proteins. Because of these unique "time-released" qualities, caseins are aptly described as being anti-catabolic, or muscle-protecting, proteins. 
Pulsing casein i.e. month on and month off might offer some good results.
