In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
And when He caused sleep to come upon you as a sign of security from Him, and He sent down water upon you from the clouds, that thereby He might purify you, and remove from you the uncleanliness of Satan, and that He might strengthen your hearts and make your steps firm therewith.
And He it is Who has made the night a covering for you, and Who has made sleep for rest, and He has made the day to rise up and work.
Allah takes away the souls of men at the time of their death; and of those also that are not yet dead, during their sleep. Then He withholds those against which He has decreed death, and sends back the others till an appointed term. In that, surely, are Signs for a people who reflect.

No - sleep is a special state all of it's own. The Beta waves in our brains are kicking out while we sleep. When we're unconscious we have low beta and alpha waves.
One way you can tell it's different from being unconscious is because you can DIE without sleep. People eventually hallucinate, seizure and die.
ANd this bit from wiki: Sleep is the state of natural rest observed in most mammals, birds, fish, as well as invertebrates such as the fruitfly Drosophila. It is characterized by a reduction in voluntary body movement, decreased reaction to external stimuli, an increased rate of anabolism (the synthesis of cell structures), and a decreased rate of catabolism (the breakdown of cell structures). In humans, mammals and many other animals which have been studied, such as fish, birds, mice and fruitflies, sleep is necessary for life. The capability for arousal from sleep is a protective mechanism and also necessary for health and survival. Sleep is not synonymous with unconsciousness.

Knowing that "unconscious" refers to a state of mind, your mind is at rest. But we also possess a spirit that never sleeps, this is the part that we sometimes refer to as the "heart" of a person.

First, what does this have to do with religion?????? Second, it depends on what level of sleep you are in. The Alpha level is barely "out." Unconscious is most likely not the most accurate term. In medicine, that is usually held for anesthesia or coma. A Blessed Christmas to you.

I guess kind of. I mean you don't know what's going on until you wake up.
