I'll be aware even if you remove all activities and all senses from me. For some time, anyway - then my mind will likely wander.

One of the things we can be aware of is our own thoughts. If you count that as another "sense", is your statement still true? (Any neuroscientists out there: is it gibberish to consider awareness of your own thinking as a type of sensory input?)
