It could be the start of many things and needs investigating so get him to go to his Doctor!
I've never heard anyone say that sleeping a while helped them in fact it's usually the time when confusion and memory loss occurs.

If you are serious, he could have had a seizure. There are many different kinds of seizures (not just convulsions, which are obvious). Disorientation is common after seizures and people can get sleepy and then be fine after a nap. Get help.

I'd have him see a doctor, just to be on the safe side. It sounds like it could be a minor stroke.
Also, if he's on any medications, temporary memory loss and confusion could be side effects.
Hope he's ok. :)
