I have experienced this also. To the extreme. I finally started having seizures in my sleep and the neurologist diagnosed me with REM sleep disorder and nocturnal epilepsy. I am told it is common for sleep problems to occur after head trauma. The doctor put me on clonazepam and Ambian at night and it has cleared up the problems. I sleep good now and feel rested in the morning. I don't think I was really getting much real sleep before. Good luck. I know how miserable this nightmare and not feeling rested problem can be.
