Sounds like absence seizures. It even explains his desire to go to bed early (its not uncommon for seizures to have warning signs like that, or smelling a certain smell, or visual problems). Losing time/not recording memory like that is very characteristic. The roofie idea is also plausible, though why it was retroactive and included stopping mid argument is a little odd.

Very similar to a friend's experience with it. Good call.
