I'm not sure they can This coin has two sides: sometimes I wake up because of noise, and sometimes I don't hear anything.

My mistake, I was to say that I am not aware of myself, when I sleep. Well. If people were aware of themselves, when they sleep, they wouldn't snore, for example. I want to explain my understanding of the term "self awareness". For me it is connected with responsibility for one's actions. I don't want to say control, but exactly responsibility.

Yes, when I don't sleep, I'm not aware of myself. Yes, I agree with you, the experience is different. But sometimes when you wake up in the middle of the night, there's a feeling that it's almost dawn and time to wake up. What I am talking about is the feeling of presence here. Anyway, I don't remember myself when I'm not present with my mind. But other people do remember. So, I think we are memories. But when I am present, and feel this awareness, I have responsibility. And, I think, it's important to leave good memories. Thank you, my friend. I totally agree with your point of view. I think our experience is alive, until other people remember us.

Ok, thank you. Sorry, if my comment seemed rude. My point is that when one sleeps, or under anesthesia, there's no self awareness. * If we assume, that self awareness is "I", there's no "I" when I sleep. This "I" exists only in memories of other people. So, I think that we are memories of each other.

To the OP. I think you have gone too far. What about deep sleep? In both cases "cogito, ergo sum" doesn't apply. Do I think when I sleep? -No. Am I when I sleep?
