What to do for breakfast?

Hey folks,
What do you guys do for breakfasts? I've been making Mary's banana pancakes from the DVD (which I love - both the pancakes and the DVD), but I don't feel so great afterward, I feel like I've kind of hit a sugar low, even though I hardly put any maple syrup on them at all. The same thing has been happening when I eat oatmeal in the morning, even nothing on it (in fact the effect is much worse if I put raisins or fruit on it).
I'm in school, and a couple days ago, while in the midst of high stress and wanting comfort food, I ditched my usual pancakes or oatmeal and made a bacon and egg sandwich. I thought it would taste too rich, or awful, but it was delicious, and what's more, I actually had energy afterward! I felt good, awake, alert, smart, not in a sugar fog.
I'm scared! What does this mean? This morning I had pancakes again, and I feel, again, groggy and tired. My life is very stressful while in school and raising two little ones. I don't want to be downing artery-clogging meat to stay alert. Have any of you had this problem? How did you deal with it? What do you guys eat for breakfast?
