Creatine supplements remedy the mental deterioration caused by lack of sleep

Creatine supplements increase muscle mass, performance during very intensive training and even IQ. Physical and mental performance decreases due to lack of sleep. Creatine supplementation can have a positive effect on mental function in people with sleep deprivation. British researchers showed that people given creatine supplements performed better on mental and physical tests-movement tests, verbal and spatial reasoning, reaction time, balance exercises and state of mind-than those given a placebo (fake creatine). Creatine supplements are effective for boosting mental function in people who work in highly stressful jobs associated with sleep deprivation.(Psychopharmacology, published online Nov.2005)
