Creatine and Programming

I started lifting over a month ago. Got into a good routine and learned that if I want to gain muscle fast, I need to supplement with creatine and eat a lot. So I started loading with creatine. I'm two weeks in and I've gained around 7 pounds in muscle mass and as a side-effect, my memory and cognition is a lot clearer. I think it's actually helping with my programming.

Anyone else with similar experiences?

Noticed similiar thing. Once my cognition detoriates to a certain point it starts to be a hindrance, I get a gym pass, stop eating the ridiculous shit and generaly begin to resemble a human being.

Then I burn out with that life style - the novelty of looking good and even talking to people wanes off, and I succumb back to being the stereotypal NEET - this is usually triggered by some huge coding binge with chainsmoking, sugary food and caffeine.

The cycle repeats with transitions back or forth each 6-9 months.
