Is it true that when you wake up in the night to piss or just wake up your body turns into a catobolic state right when u go back to bed? i have heard of bodybuilders drinking milk or a protein shake if they wake up in the night

No. Catabolic would mean that your body was "eating" muscle...breaking it down. Simply waking up and going back to sleep does not make this happen.
The second part is true though...some people do wake up and drink a shake or eat something. This is done just to provide the body with extra protein and nutrients, which aids in the muscle building and growth that occurs while you're sleeping.
Hope this helps!
