Single-Dose Creatine Reduces Sleep Deprivation-Induced Deterioration in Cognitive Performance

Key Points

• This research investigates the impact of a single dose of creatine on cognitive performance following sleep deprivation.
• Randomized controlled trial design
• Participants experienced sleep deprivation
• Assessment of cognitive performance through cognitive tasks before and after creatine administration
• Statistical analysis to evaluate changes in performance
• Creatine supplementation significantly improved reaction times in cognitive tasks
• Participants demonstrated enhanced working memory performance after creatine
• Marked reduction in cognitive decline was observed due to sleep deprivation
