See a neurologist: Who also specializes in sleep medicine. The riddle will likely be easily solved. You either had some sort of myoclonus episode or an apnea related event with oxygen loss due to the position your neck was in when you were sleeping. You may need an eeg with a full montage during a sleep study. Best wishes.
