I have heard of people who say creatine helps them sleep. Creatine is technically not a stimulant, but in most people it causes a state of mental activation that would make it hard to sleep. I suspect you and the people who sleep better on creatine may have something in common.

This is funny. I started mixing ~3g of creatine into my morning coffee a couple of weeks ago. I never thought of it being stimulating or activating, but it's certainly possible: I usually don't stick long enough to things like this to form a habit, but my brain seems to nudge me into keeping up with it...

I don't find it dissolves or stays in suspension - at the end of the coffee most of the creatine is at the bottom of the mug. Which is a pity as otherwise it would be very efficient, tip it in while the machine makes the cup. Are you stirring it lots or similar?

The creatine I use is finely powdered and it immediately dissolves in very little boiling water. I add it to the second coffee of the day: first one is from the espresso machine for pleasure while waking up, second one is using instant coffee to maintain stable blood caffeine levels. The crema-faking bubbles from the instant espresso powder probably help getting the stuff to dissolve. Then drink it hot and quickly :)

Surely must be another method that doesn't ruin a perfectly good cup of coffee

That's why I use it with instant coffee ;) not much to ruin when your expectations are already low! Also, you need boiling water to properly dissolve the stuff. But to be honest: the coffee feels thicker, but there's no distinct change in taste due to creatine.
