Caffeine is a bitter, white crystalline xanthine alkaloid that acts as a psychoactive stimulant drug and a mild diuretic[3]. Caffeine was discovered by a German chemist, Friedrich Ferdinand Runge, in 1819. He coined the term kaffein, a chemical compound in coffee, which in English became caffeine.[4] Caffeine is also part of the chemical mixtures and insoluble complexes guaranine found in guarana, mateine found in mate, and theine found in tea; all of which contain additional alkaloids such as the cardiac stimulants theophylline and theobromine, and often other chemicals such as polyphenols which can form insoluble complexes with caffeine.[5]

actually, caffeine doesnt cause insomnia because it keeps you awake by making you not respond to the brains sleep inducing chemical so this chemical builds up and when the caffeine wears off, you sleep really well! I would suggest you try and read a few scientific papaers on the subject (they are a bit boring so maybe just read the abstracts!) because there is a lot of information on the subject and while most people have a negative perception of caffeine, a lot of scientific research going on actually says its not as bad as what peole generally think and that it does have a lot of benefits.
