Technically, when you're in deep (non-REM) sleep your conscious is also turned off.

yes but during deep sleep you still sense the passage of time. when you wake up after general anesthesia, it's like changing channels. very weird.

My most refreshing sleep feels as though I have skipped forward from night to morning without the tedious period of time in-between.

There were times in my life when I woke up (from normal sleep) thinking I didn't sleep at all, while in fact I slept for hours and hours.
