In particular, researchers found that when the extent of an individual’s physical activity was comparatively greater the day prior, people felt more alert the next morning.
Beyond the effects of the high carbohydrate meal itself, one of the strongest outcomes revealed in the study was the marked reduction in alertness on days when participants consumed a lot of sugar, which was demonstrated using a standardized liquid glucose bolus at breakfast .
