Caffeine can cause sleeplessness because it is a stimulant that increase the circulation of cortisol and adrenaline(energy boosters) in your body. So avoid it before bed time.
To create a habit try to go to sleep and wake-up at the same time everyday. This helps your body to follow it's internal clock which will help you to wake up early.
