Hi
Some people have hallucinations when they are just in the process of waking up ie. while they are in the transition between sleep and waking. Such experiences are common, they are called hypnagogic hallucinations. The symptoms disappear when you have fully woken up.
Here is some information.....

Your symptoms are brief and infrequent - and therefore not 'formication'.
This is nothing to do with demons trust me!
Although unpleasant, I do not think your symptoms are anything to worry about. Mention it to your doctor at your next visit.
