Can Consuming Coke Regularly Cause Fatigue?

Coke (Coca-Cola, not cocaine) used to perk me up and help me get through the day when I felt drained or tired, or at the very least it never used to make me drowsy. I ve noticed recently though that it just makes me tired. And it s almost instant, like I m not even getting the benefits of the caffeine or sugar before I crash . Just a single glass of Coke can right about knock me out these days, I have to take a long nap after having some.Is this normal and/or is there a reason for this?
