Alright this isn't a question about balance or how hard the place is, rather... the monsters.
I've always wondered, considering it's a haunted mine and stuff - why is it always inhabited by living things? wouldn't it make more sense if the mine was haunted by the restless spirits of the miners?
*cough*
Spirits holding pick axes, chisels... Could be fun.

It was said that maybe if time permitted there could be some creepy flavor night spawns or something, but the mine was not created to be a "Haunted Mine" or anything...rather, it was a mine full of ogres, which had a haunted story attached to explain the no-rest thing. :P So I would of it as a minor haunting, that endangers one when one sleeps with his guard down or something. Stealing into your dreams, who knows.
The ogres were there because ogres are a good standard set of creatures, I imagine, and the gnolls are there because they took over the place in a DM quest. :)
But yeah! It might be fun to take the kind of thin attempt at an explanation and add some touches here and there. Just enough so that it can explain the no-rest, if it is kept.
-
How do they explain ogres/gnolls living there if they can't rest inside? :P
-
Maybe that's why they're so ill-tempered. ;)
-
It's not a matter of "directly preventing from sleeping" but rather "dangerous to sleep," so maybe they're very stressed and just a little bit crazy. Why, we should be sending them to counseling, not slaughtering the poor creatures!
-
I agree, change the quest into taking the gnoll leader to a psychiatrist rather than kill him (:

We should make an area where when PCs try to rest, Spirits come a-spawnin'... :D hahah *hides before the angry barrage hits her*
