Caffeine's mechanism of action involves blocking sleepiness molecules from binding to neuron receptors in the brain, thereby preventing sleep signals while simultaneously triggering stimulation reactions instead.

Evidence Quote
“normally, this molecule builds up in a bee's brain, binds to certain neuron receptors, and triggers a series of chemical reactions that makes the bee sleepy. But when caffeine binds to those receptors, it blocks the sleepiness molecules from binding and triggers its own chemical reactions that get the bee buzzed instead.”
