If coffee just blocks the sleep receptors, how does it end up giving you more energy?

I’ve read many takes that say coffee just works by blocking the receptors that make you sleepy, but my question is, why is it upon drinking coffee that I experience more energy? The feeling is that it actually gives me energy, not just a baseline state of not being tired.

Caffeine doesn’t block sleep receptors, it mimics the chemical that makes us feel tired without making us feel tired
