Your brain consumes a lot of energy, and it feeds off the sugar. I am not sure what studies have been done about intense concentration and conscious brain activity involved in coding and so forth, but I can see why your brain has developed a habit of relying on sugar.
Sugar is actually more addictive than many other drugs. Rats often preferred it to cocaine and got addicted to it just like a drug.
You might try varying the sugar to brown sugar or honey. Or eat fruits such as grapes which are a source of glucose! Also, apples have been known to wake you up in the morning better than coffee.
