You can actually try both. When my husband is exhausted from insomnia, he gets up in the middle of the night and makes a cup of coffee, and it somehow knocks him out enough to fall asleep.
Coffee is a stimulant and stimulants can absolutely cause drowsiness in people, usually those of us with ADHD.
If I’m not tired I can drink a small espresso and the stimulation from the caffeine wakes my brain up enough to actually deliver the sleepy hormones (this is how my Dr described it to me, anyway)

Highly doubt if you can get high quality sleep that way
Insomnia sucks tho, I can’t sleep no matter how hard I try when I am stressed and it’s brutal, can’t imagine going thru that every single day
