Joe Rogan Experience #2568 - Ross Edgley · Aired Oct 20, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Joe suggested tired people take 25-30 grams of creatine after discussing a sleep-deprivation study.
The finding
What the evidence shows
A 15-person crossover study used 0.35 g/kg and found partial cognitive benefit during sleep loss. It does not establish a general tiredness remedy or a full reset to baseline. Joe acknowledges the small study, then hears the researchers' warning against copying the large dose at home at 8653-8671 seconds. Both the advice and later warning matter.
