energy spike
Sudden vigor burst
A sudden, sharp increase in energy—whether electrical current, physical vitality, or metabolic activity.
Power grids experience energy spikes that can damage equipment.
A person might feel an energy spike from caffeine or adrenaline: I got a weird energy spike around midnight and couldn't sleep.
The phrase suggests intensity that's temporary and often unexpected.
