Question

I woke up and had to go on a 2 hour car ride early like at 8am(thats early for me im in colledge)

I drank a glass of POM juice(has lots of sugar)

I got kind of a sugar buzz

Then two hours later i got tired.

Is this normal?

Answer 1

if you didn't eat anything this is normal. The high sugar content will cause a quick burst of energy, but without anything substantial in your stomach to keep your energy going(carbs) then you will get tired after.  

Answer 2

One may experience a burst of energy from eating or drinking a beverage with a lot of sugar and then crash sometime later, however, please do Not try to self-diagnose and instead make an appointment with one's family doctor and he or she can send for routine blood work.  A variation of the saying regarding spoiled food 'when in doubt, throw it out' is 'when in doubt, get it checked out' :)

Answer 3

Yes.  Sugar will raise the blood sugar quickly, giving you the sugar buzz, but does not last long.  Sugar will let your blood sugar levels drop quickly, causing you to be tired and sleepy.  This is one reason many parents don't like their smaller kids to have much sugar. It can cause hyperactivity and drive ya nuts.

Answer 4

Sugar high then sugar crash that's normal. The crash could have been harder with exercise. Eat a better breakfast!
