You're still conscious during sleep you just don't remember most of it.

    Only during REM sleep, and even then, it's not the same as alert-and-aware consciousness.

    During non-REM sleep, during which your body does most of its growth, healing and cell replacement, death stops by for a visit. See also when under general anesthesia.
