Sleep deprived? Study finds creatine supplements may improve cognitive performance

Creatine is a widely used sports supplement believed to boost muscle energy during exercise. Some studies suggest it might benefit brain health too. A new study indicates that a high dose of creatine enhances cognitive abilities in sleep-deprived individuals. This finding raises hopes for creatine-based interventions aiding those who must perform well despite lack of sleep, such as healthcare workers and night-shift employees. Nonetheless, further research is necessary before embracing creatine as a solution for sleep deprivation-related cognitive issues.

I’ve heard about creatine for improving muscle energy during workouts, but I had no idea it might also have benefits for brain health! I wonder what the next steps are for research in this area? Creatine could become a common supplement for people who need to perform well despite not getting enough sleep, like healthcare workers and night-shift employees?
