I kept with it for a while out of curiosity, but after a minute or so i just opened my eyes and i was back to normal. I didn't experience sleep paralysis, vibrations, or anything but that odd sensation. I expect this was the beginning of an OBE or a partial one, but i never really research the topic so i pretty much have no clue. Does anyone have a clue of what this could of been? And if it was an OBE, how can i get my head to "detach" from my real body if this happens to me again? Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Sounds like the beginning of a new NREM stage, so next time just try to keep it going and relax until it grows into something more substantial.

OBEs are just WILDs when your dream ends up being the room that you're sleeping in. That's it.
