Dr. Daniel Amen

And so some of these studies have been done by Dr. Darren Kandow.

He's at the University of Regina in Canada.

And they've looked at things like sleep deprivation.

And it's been found that if you take someone and you sleep-deprive them for 21 hours and give them about 25 to 30 grams of creatine, it completely negates the cognitive deficits of sleep deprivation.

Actually, not only does it negate the cognitive deficits of sleep deprivation, it makes people function better than if they were well-rested.

That's where I was like...

wait a minute, there's many times when I'm traveling, I'm jet lagged, lots of times when I'm sleep deprived and I have to be doing a podcast or a presentation, whatever.

And

In those situations, I go up from my 10 grams to more like 20 grams, like today, for example.

I wasn't really sleep deprived, but, you know, there's a lot of high cognitive demand.

This is a long podcast.

There's all that stuff.

And so I went up to 20 grams today on my creatine.

And I will say, even at the 10 grams, for me, we were talking about this with respect to being in ketosis, right?

I don't feel that mid-afternoon crash when I have the creatine, not being on a ketogenic diet, not being in ketosis.

It's very clear for me, and I've done this, where sometimes I only do five grams, and then if I do that, I'll notice.

I'm like, why am I tired right now?

So there's something interesting, and maybe it's placebo.

I'm going to throw that out there.

Very possible.
