Kicking legs at night

My baby is almost 5 months old and ever since we stopped swaddling him (at the recommendation of his pediatrician) at 4 months he has been aggressively kicking his arms and legs at night. To the point where he barely sleeps because he is constantly waking himself up. I know it’s completely normal for baby’s to wake up throughout the night it i feel that if he wasn’t kicking his legs allll night he would pretty much sleep through the night like he used to. Is this normal?
