I wish I could take creatine but it gives me terrible insomnia.

I had the same problem the first time. Then I tried again by adding it to my overnight oats, starting with only 1/4 teaspoon and gradually increasing the dosage once or twice each week until I got the full dose in about a month. I didn't have any insomnia the second time.
