Creatine badly affects sleep, which is the main reason I’m not using it regularly. There is not much data available on that effect of creatine, and I would appreciate if you could expand on it.
Current scientific literature does not robustly link creatine supplementation to impaired sleep, with most studies focusing on its effects on muscle mass and exercise performance. However, individual responses to creatine can vary, and more targeted research could help clarify its impact on sleep quality.
I saw some say that if it does negatively affect sleep, it also reduces the need for sleep. I wish it was true, while it does give you more energy with less sleep, there seems to be more to good sleep than some ATP chemistry. It’s really too bad for me, as otherwise the stuff is magical.
Years ago I heard that by taking creatine over a long period of time, your body produces less of its own creatine and becomes dependent. Is there any truth to this? Also, 5g micronized creatine monohydrate daily has given me stomache aches. Any recommendations?
“According to your articles, there are no known side effects on the kidneys or hair loss from daily creatine consumption. However, my recent lab reports show elevated creatine levels compared to last year, despite my inconsistent use of creatine supplements. Could you please explain these unexpected lab results?”

Hello. Are you referring to your own lab results? Are you also mistaking creatine for creatinine?
