Creatinine is a waste product from muscle metabolism cleared by the kidneys. Blood creatinine levels help assess kidney function: elevated levels suggest reduced filtration.

Creatine is having a viral moment for mitigating sleep deprivation.
Maybe some folks with Long COVID or ME/CFS will be interested in this paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-54249-9
Our outcomes show that administering a high single dose of creatine can partially reverse metabolic alterations and fatigue-related cognitive deterioration.
At 0.35 g creatine/kg body they found:
Creatine significantly reduced fatigue
and
The crucial factor appears to be the increased energy demand of the neuronal cells in combination with an increased extracellular creatine availability
This was a small but high quality study in 2024.
The inverse effects of creatine supplementation and sleep deprivation on high energy phosphates, neural creatine, and cognitive performances suggest that creatine is a suitable candidate for reducing the negative effects of sleep deprivation. With this, the main obstacle is the limited exogenous uptake by the central nervous system (CNS), making creatine only effective over a long-term diet of weeks. Thus far, only repeated dosing of creatine over weeks has been studied, yielding detectable changes in CNS levels. Based on the hypothesis that a high extracellular creatine availability and increased intracellular energy consumption will temporarily increase the central creatine uptake, subjects were orally administered a high single dose of creatinemonohydrate (0.35 g/kg) while performing cognitive tests during sleep deprivation. Two consecutive 31P-MRS scans, 1H-MRS, and cognitive tests were performed each at evening baseline, 3, 5.5, and 7.5 h after single dose creatine (0.35 g/kg) or placebo during sub-total 21 h sleep deprivation (SD). Our results show that creatine induces changes in PCr/Pi, ATP, tCr/tNAA, prevents a drop in pH level, and improves cognitive performance and processing speed. These outcomes suggest that a high single dose of creatine can partially reverse metabolic alterations and fatigue-related cognitive deterioration.
I did a test recently, where I stopped taking my creatine monohydrate (no flavor, nothing added, 3-5g/day) and noted how I felt. Long story short - I felt like shit. Less energy, and it was harder to wake up again from any type of sleep.
So I got back into taking it and tadaa - I can wake from naps again WITHOUT an alarm. It feels like strange magic. (:
Hands down the best thing I have done. No idea why it works in reducing sleep inertia, but damn am i happy it does.
It was a pleasure to be a guest on Mental Health Break with Dr. Sekandari, Clinical Psychologist 💗
We talked about what is really happening in perimenopause and menopause and why so many women feel like they are not themselves.
