I don't find the sleep argument convincing. Consciousness has two definitions:

  • As opposed to being asleep or unconscious, when the brain is still running and you still have experiences (although they are mostly internal experiences)
  • As opposed to being non-sentient like a rock or bacteria

They are distinct issues.
