Could eating yolks late at night really cause restless sleep (and/or nightmares)?
Yes, if you consume a high protein meal right before you go to sleep,
this may cause restless sleep / nightmares.
Thats because big changes in the blood amino acid levels affect neurotransmitter activity in the brain.

Yes, if you consume the egg yolks say one hour or more before you go to sleep,
then the blood amino acid levels have stabilized already,
and the calming effect of cholesterol dominates.
Try it indeed, and please report back.
