Crash: It's not uncommon to crash after too much caffeine. Your brain eventually metabolizes all the caffeine and now needs to rest. Also, your heart rate and BP have been elevated (usually not much, but to some extent) and your body perceives this as stress and a reason for rest.

I have trouble sleeping. I don't drink caffeine 5 hours before bed. I go to bed at 9 and wake up at 6. But it takes me 30-60 minutes to fall asleep.
