Restless at night - help!

Our 1 year old rescue has never been a great sleeper and occasionally wakes at night but recently it's multiple times a night and we're shattered! We tried getting him to settle at night downstairs when we first got him 3 months ago but after too many stressful nights relented and he's in a bed in our room with the door closed and has generally been pretty good.

He doesn't bark at night but just appears right next to me & sometime scratches on the floor. He'll go back to his bed when told but last night this happened about 6 times. It seems like he's checking in with me/anxious but given he's in the room with us and door is closed I'm not sure what else we can do.
Any ideas?

Is there anything waking him up? Noise or light from outside? We sleep with a fan on all year round as the white noise masks any noise that disturbs our anxious dog.
