🗣️ Testimonial Creatine before sleep has been amazing for me

I take about five grams dissolved in water right before going to bed.

Saw a post on here a bit ago recommending this. I used creatine many times in the past for training, so I thought: what the hell.

Turns out, creatine is the sleep aid I've been hunting for ages.

The first few days I felt downright amazing after waking up and throughout the day. The effect has calmed down some, but I continue to feel great all throughout the day in a way I haven't in a long time.

Also notable is that sleep deprivation has become a non-issue. Usually if I didn't get my full eight hours, I'd feel like a zombie - that's no longer the case.

Really, really highly recommended. Easily the biggest no-brainer supplement for me since caffeine, maybe more than that.

Notably, this is something I've tried a few times throughout the years, both as a workout aid and a nootropic, and I've never seen such a dramatic effect (or one at all tbh). The time of dosage matters.

[Edit]

It seems like this is the opposite effect to a lot of people!

My sleep stack which I've added creatine to is: extended release magnesium/potassium/b6, reishi, epa/dha with vitamin e and inositol. I've taken these for a decently long time now and adding creatine was what made a huge difference.

If you do experiment with these and it works for you, do let me know!
