💥 Creatine vs Sleep Deprivation: Who Wins?

Everyone knows caffeine is the go-to when you’re running on fumes…But what if your secret weapon against brain fog isn’t coffee — it’s creatine?

A new study dropped in Nature’s Scientific Reports tested a massive single dose of creatine (0.35 g/kg) during 21 hours of sleep deprivation.The results?

🧠 Sharper thinking: Subjects processed information up to 24% faster on cognitive tests.

⚡ Better memory & focus: Reaction time and short-term memory stayed higher compared to placebo.

🧬 Creatine kept brain pH steady and preserved energy stores — keeping your brain “charged.”

😴 Less fatigue: Even after being awake all night, participants reported feeling less tired.

In other words: creatine didn’t just help muscles — it kept the brain online when it should’ve been crashing.

🗣️ Your Turn

Would you take a scoop of creatine to power through an all-nighter instead of another cup of coffee?
