Omeprazole refers to the drug substance itself, but can also mean any drug containing omeprazole. Omeprazole 20 mg ec likely refers to a specific finished pharmaceutical product (i.e. a drug product, like a tablet or capsule), that contains 20 mg of omeprazole, and is enterically coated. The enteric coat (ec) is required to prevent the omeprazole from being degraded in the stomach by the gastric acid. This means that the part of the product containing the omeprazole will be undissolved until the product enters the gut, specifically the duodenum. Some omeprazole products are not enteriically coated, and instead contain an alkaline substance to neutraliz the gastric acid, and thus prevent degradation of omeprazole.
Omeprazole is used to treat heartburn that occurs two more days a week. It is a delayed-release medicine. Omeprazole magnesium is used to treat heartburn (not for immediate relief), GERD and is used to promote healing erosive esophagitis.
Omeprazole does not contain magnesium trisilicate in the medication. Omeprazole is an acid blocker, and magnesium trisilicate would require the stomach to break down more acid, defeating the purpose.

The short answer: yes. The longer answer: it is unlikely that omeprazole is the cause of your insomnia. Studies of omeprazole side effects point out that a very small percentage of patients studied reported insomnia.
