Is this facetious?
No.
Your line of thought started with people in general dying slowly as they go to sleep. Wouldn't this suggest that some of them should die (leaving a corpse) before they wake up?
Maybe I've missed something, but I think your argument implies that we would have to be in the extremely rare universe where everyone appears to have survived in spite of death during sleep being the default?
Or did you mean that the person (in the sense of continuity of consciousness) dies during sleep, but the body doesn't die?
The latter.
So the body that gets left behind, is it a p-zombie? If not, why not?
No, it continues on normally somewhere else in the Dust.
