Creatine may help women in perimenopause maintain more consistent sleep when combined with strength training. Women taking creatine for 6 weeks had sleep regularity scores 7.4 percentage points higher than the placebo group, reported fewer days of temperature sensitivity, and had greater brain oxygenation during a cognitive task. The protocol was 20 grams of creatine monohydrate daily for 5 days, followed by about 4.5 grams daily, with resistance training twice a week. These are encouraging early findings, particularly for sleep regularity in a population known to suffer from poor sleep quality! I love seeing more creatine research in women. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4292…
