Well she went to bed not that long ago then came out about 15 minutes later crying her eyes out. I have no idea what's going on so I ask her what the matter is. She says between tears
"Lucky is going to eat me when I fall asleep!"
Oh great, so I go pull out the Lucky Charms box to see what the deal was. Sure enough on the box was quite possibly the creepiest looking cartoon character I've ever seen, and my cousin starts screaming at the box. I wish I had a camera handy to show you guys this thing. Anyway I told her Lucky only eats Lucky Charms and not people and she seems to be asleep now.

In one double-blind study, participants received either a sugary beverage or a sugar-free beverage. And then they were either told the what they actually consumed, or told they consumed the other beverage.
You know what they found? They only correlation was between activity level and what the participants were TOLD they consumed. It didn't matter if it was sugary or sugar-free: if they were TOLD they drank the sugary stuff, the kids were wilder. And vice versa. Same with studies that viewed the parents' perceptions when they were told but their children were not: if the parents were told their children were given sugary beverages (and even if the children themselves had no clue), the parents believed their kids were hyper.
Bottom line: it's all in your head. Sugar consumption has no effect on behavior; only the BELIEF in the myth causes any noticeable effect.
