The Myth of Dreamless Sleep

Consciousness never "switches off" because it isn't generated by the brain. Its sensory inputs can be switched off - during sleep or general anesthesia, for instance - but your consciousness is still there. For example, a small but consistent number of patients report out-of-body experiences (OOBEs) or near-death experiences (NDEs) while under general anesthesia. As someone with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) I can attest to this, since I act out dreams that occur during the non-REM phases of sleep.
