Questions/Advice Creatine Usage

I've seen a trillion posts about the benefits of creatine. I have used creatine HCL on and off and it seems like it messes with my sleep, though most say it helps. I'm going to switch to monohydrate which shouldn't affect my sleep. Has anyone else experienced sleep disturbances when using it? I'm wondering if it's an ADHD thing the way caffeine chills us out.

I’ve hadNo sleep disturbances from creatine, however: I learned about the slight cognitive improvements from 15-20g doses, so I usually take it first thing in the morning (whether it be regular 5g doses or higher doses).
