Apparently when the pilot woke up, the TCAS alarm was on, informing him that another airplane was on a possible collision course. So, when he saw a light slightly higher, he decided to descend but then noticed that the TCAS instructed him to go higher, which he did. A perfectly normal reaction, I believe, I remember once dozing off in the passenger seat of a car and suddenly waking up, thinking I had dozed off behind the wheel and tried to grab the wheel in front of me (which wasn't there of course).
If the people had been strapped in, they would not have gotten injured.
The described scenario is impossible, since at least one pilot has to be in the cockpit at all times, and what's more, (s)he should be awake...
