Hi, there is a possibility that your father is going through a lot from inside. He could be frustrated or we can say in stress. Being aggressive and fighting with others over irrelevant reasons is a prominent symptom of distress. Disturbed sleep could also be because of the same reasons.
Apart from that, there is a possibility of other mental , emotional or behavioural disorders. Which could be a sleep disorder also.
The exact cause of the concern can be understood only after proper assessment and evaluation by a licensed psychologist.

Hi... You can help him seek professional guidance for his sleep issues. It can be addressed through counselling (psychologist) and lifestyle changes. In cases where the condition is debilitating and creating issues in a person's daily life functioning, use of medication (mainly antianxiety etc.) is also advised under medical supervision (psychiatrist). It may be difficult for you to convince him to seek help. But with gradual persuasion, using your position as his son, you will be able to bring him into the treatment process to help him find a solution.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Lifestyle Changes and Interpersonal Guidance and Counselling is required.
