if we are unconscious during sleep, why isn’t going to sleep like jumping forward in time?

If sleep means the disappearance of consciousness, shouldn’t sleeping be basically like blinking, and then the next thing we know it’s eight hours later?

But in reality, we can tell some time has passed. And me, personally at least, I can usually estimate how long I’ve been asleep with some accuracy.

Only because you immediately realize you’ve been asleep, and you can tell from context clues approximately how much time has passed.
