Basically, I was awake enough to know I was no longer sleeping, and to tell myself to lift my head or reach over to the light, yet not awake enough for body to physically react to what I was telling it to do. It was really weird, and happened every few nights for quite awhile.

It also came with unexplained pain. For example, when I would try to lift my head, but to no avail, I would get a crushing headache when I finally fully woke up, but the headache would only last for a few minutes, and then completely dissapear.

How old were you? I had something similar to that until I was about 8.
