Its the after crash. It tires you out, after the rush. Try drinking a different energy drink with less caffeine
Sugar. All “energy” drinks are just crammed with a ton of sugar and caffeine. The sugar goes into your blood stream very fast (high fructose corn syrup), it opens up your fat deposits to store more fat, and once the sugar has been taken from your blood and stored as fat, you expirience the crash (sleepyness) since it is no longer in your blood stream.
I get the same thing when I drink them. Some people handle caffeine differently. I try to avoid them if I can. Caffine is just like a drug. It’s really great when it’s in your system, but when it starts to subside your body craves more to keep the “high” going. This is why you feel tired. Use a drink that has less caffine like Diet Pepsi or Pepsi Max. 😉
