As long as protagonist could remember when he slept at night he would wake up in the body of another person. Always his age. Rarely same a second time, and always in his town. As kid could be either sex, but after puberty always male. The people involved would wake up the next day with no memory of their "possession".
The story (short novella or long novelette) told of his attempts to learn about what was happening and how to live with it. It turns out that he was the victim of a Mengele type scientist who took him as a newborn and began systematically removing tiny bits of his brain and tracking the neural electric patterns, and this was how his mind continued to function.
Last twenty years or so. May likely have been in a science fiction magazine.
