No.

Unless you're doing it wrong by like.. adding sugar or something.

Time for another cup, I had 2 large heaped teaspoons of Gyokuro this morning, now I'll have some China Jasmine.

Tea has less caffeine. Caffeine in tea is bound to other substances and is released over time. Caffeine in coffee is immediately available which is why it causes that spike in wakefulness. Tea also contains theanine which relaxes you and eases anxiety and as such helps with insomnia.
