I used to have good handwriting. In my early teens, I read a book on handwriting analysis. I then made a conscious effort to change my handwriting to reflect the characteristics I wished to have as defined by the book. In the process, my handwriting improved. Not so much my character.
It's been so many decades since I've done much handwriting that I now struggle to make my block character writing legible.

They're a starting point. LLMs are much better, but can still make mistakes or make stuff up. YouTube videos vary from overhyped BS to good sources on what is currently known about a subject.

russell and GftNC, you're welcome.
If you search for creatine on YouTube, you'll find dozens of videos on it and how to use it.

In April I had decompressive surgery on my neck for degenerative cervical myelopathy.
I think I'm beginning to develop it. :(

About a decade ago, I had frozen shoulder syndrome (adhesive capsulitis). First the left, then the right shoulder. I could only sleep about an hour and a half at a time. The pain intensified the longer the shoulder was immobile. Moving my arm would usually reduce the pain enough that I could sleep another hour or so.
Using Dr. Google, I determined that I could pay someone thousands of dollars to cure it in ten to twelve months. Or I could endure it for ten to twelve months, and it would cure itself. Which I did, and it did.

Another 3 1/2 years to go.
Other than possibly improving your mood, Creatine isn't likely to help with 3 1/2 more years of Trump.

The symptom is a lot of neck and shoulder pain, but the result is that I have been getting only pathetic amounts of sleep...
Creatine might help with both your pain and sleep deprivation. Some health pundits claim almost everyone over 50 should be taking it anyway. "Creatine is primarily known for enhancing muscle performance and recovery by increasing energy availability in cells, particularly in muscles and the brain. Its role in sleep deprivation is less direct but has been explored in some research. Here's a breakdown based on available evidence:" Creatine Benefits for Sleep Deprivation

And then, and continuing to now, intense myalgia.
Taking a Creatine dietary supplement might be helpful. It's been around for a long time and is considered safe for most people. But you may want to check with your doctor first. Look for Creatine Monohydrate in the dietary supplement section of stores. "Emerging evidence suggests that creatine supplementation may benefit individuals experiencing myalgia (muscle pain) after COVID-19, particularly in the context of post-COVID-19 fatigue syndrome or long COVID.

Well, the one who is best able to whisper sweet nothings in a potential mate's ear is likely to have better mating success...
Here are two articles and a book that make the case for sexual selection pressures having an impact on language development. "The article argues for a hybrid model where early language evolved through natural selection for collaboration, followed by sexual selection for displaying superior intelligence, leading to the development of modern, expressive language. It emphasizes sexual selection’s role in driving the "supercharged" nature of human language compared to other primates." The evolution of language by sexual selection "Miller discusses how language may have evolved as a sexually selected trait to display cognitive abilities and intelligence, serving as a courtship tool. This review article explores the idea that verbal creativity and eloquence signal genetic fitness." Sexual selection for indicators of intelligence "The book argues that many human cognitive traits, including language, evolved through sexual selection as displays of intelligence and creativity to attract mates. Miller posits that language’s complexity and expressiveness serve as fitness indicators in mate choice." The Mating Mind: How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature

The development of language likely had a significant sexual selection influence.
