Too much sugar especially in the mornings for breakfast can give me headaches and inveriably by mid afternoon I hit a major slump and just want to sleep. I find a better balance with a little less sugar and starch as well as plenty of vitamins and minerals helps keep my energy at a steady pace all day.
Sugar affects your energy levels big time. Too much sugar and your body can overreact sending out too much insulin to process it. Then when the sugar and insulin are gone then your body has an energy drop. If you eat sugar eat the less refined sorts. Fruits with natural sugars take longer to process and you won't get as much of an energy drop. Whole grains take longer to break down into glucose than refined white breads.
