Hello Caitlyn.
I suspect some neurological cause for your symptoms.
Do you have similar symptoms in daytime also? Any history of seizures? Any history of drug abuse?
Please reply back with the answers to these questions.
I would also suggest you to go for a MRI scan of brain and a sleep-EEG study. This will help to find out the cause.
Thanks.
