The reason this happens has to do with entropy. Entropy means that everything in the universe is trying to move towards disorganization (in this case dissociation). Raising the temperature increases the entropy in the water and therefore helps sugar and other crystals dissolve

because when the temperature is more the molecules of water will get expand and there is more space that can be occupied by sugar molecules. and when it is cool the molecules become smaller in size not much smaller so the sugar dissolves more quickly in hot water than cold water.
