I think I took it a bit further and wondered if you were really a different person after sleep, which I'm not really sure of.
If you follow a pattern of mythology, which can apply to real life, as a myth is created to give humans a "glance" of of "mask" of things we can not understand. There is a cycle all mythological heros go through. They start in the world of conscious, an unbalanced world, like a top-heavy ball. They must pass into the world of the subconscious, or you when you are asleep. Here they face many trials and final they come upon their nadir, or darkest hour. This is when they find their "bliss," what really drives them. Next, they must flee the subconscious, and perhaps, if it is too alluring, be rescued from it. This is when they become truely complete, when they "slay their dragon," lose the "though shalts" of youth, and beclome like a baby; free of obligation, but not conscience or Duty . So to awnser your question, wether or not you are a diffrent person in your sleep is entiry dependent on if you have slayed your dragon.
