I : I do not know the answer to this. Are you a combat veteran or have you bee involved in a horrifice or life threatening trauma. If you are being woken from nightmares that can lead to violence. If you have post traumatic stress disorder and you are quick to startle and move into the fight or flight mode, that can have a similar result. You also could be inbetween sleep and wake cycle. The only way to get an accurate diagnosis is to get a sleep study. Please talk to your doctor about this.
