Sam Harris On Defining Consciousness
RE: Sam Harris On Defining Consciousness
Psychology Today Wrote:While slow delta brain waves occur during sleepwalking, it has also been found that there is a significant amount of high oscillation waves, just like in people who are fully awake. Sleepwalkers have their eyes open: They can see their environment but not consciously. While sleepwalkers are in a state of deep sleep, the part of the brain in charge of motion is awake. Only the part of the brain that correlates with awareness and cognition remains asleep. Sleepwalkers are essentially awake and asleep at the same time. As the cortex, which is the part of the brain that controls thinking and voluntary movement, is asleep during slow wave sleep, the movements sleepwalkers make are controlled by other parts of the brain and are more or less reflexive.

It's inconclusive, but there appears to be support that you can be aware but not conscious as I suggested.
