Brief Answer:
Due to changes in adrenaline levels.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Coffee is a nervous system stimulant and causes an increase in adrenaline levels and the person feels energetic. But after sometime the levels of adrenaline decrease and the muscles suddenly start feeling tired as if you have done a lot of work.
Taking another cup of coffee when you feel weak causes addiction to coffee. It is best to avoid taking coffee to reduce this sudden feeling of weakness.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
