Given its role in energy transfer, does this suggest creatine might be a good supplement for improving sleep?

That's a bizarre coincidence. For the past few days I've run across a bunch of accounts of people taking more creatine than suggested (10-20g a day). They seem to all talk about how it makes them work better during sleep deprivation. So the answer seems like it helps.

I mean there are studies that show this as well. Not the improved sleep, but help in sleep deprivation scenarios

It’s a rational expectation. Improves phosphate transport for more efficient or unbottlenecked ATP synthesis.

Everyone should use creatine. It’s not just for bros.

Do you have any links? This is interesting

I’ve seen some social media posts in the last week by Rhonda Patrick discussing 20g/day for cognitive benefits.

Can’t find that post, but here is a breakdown of claims from an interview she conducted a few months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Supplements/comments/1jo8pk8/my_top...

My sleep gets worse when I take creatine, so maybe it doesn't improve sleep, but rather helps mitochondria to get by without sleep?
