If you were aware of it, it wasn't epilepsy. Your symptoms described a full absonse seizure, and people who experience those are unconcious.

EDIT: I am not saying you didn't experience a seizure or something like that, but please don't equate it with epilepsy because they are not the same thing.

It's hard to tell, but it almost sounds like a temporal lobe siezure, most likely of the "abscence" variety.
EDIT: If it just happened when you were going to sleep it may have just been "hypnagogic" sleep. The hypnagogic sleep state is kind of when you're literally half asleep and your waking and dreaming concious merge. It can be very strange. It's actually fairly normal, it's just that most people don't recognize it or admit to it.

People who have abscense (spelling?) siezures are NOT usually unconcious-they just sometimes appear that way. Actually, the brain is usually overactive during them.
You are correct about the siezures not necessarily being epileptic. Siezures are sort of just the brain's electrical activity going haywire, while epilepsy is a chronic condition with specific symptoms that usually involves the stereotypical "floppin around on the ground" and that sort of thing that most people associate with siezures.

Yeah, you are right, absonsing (sp?) doesn't necessarily mean unconciousness. My girlfriend is epileptic and she has random absonse seizures every couple weeks and then goes into a full 30 second seizure in which she is unconcious for about a half hour afterwards.
It's pretty horrifying and tough to deal with it, but somehow she manages.
