Does awareness remain during sleep?

definition
"Let your awareness blossom effortlessly in the waking state, and it will naturally seep into your dreams and sleep without the need for force."
According to Osho, fretting about whether awareness continues in sleep is misplaced; such concern breeds anxiety that itself clouds awareness. Let watchfulness ripen naturally and effortlessly. Prioritize relaxed presence while awake; if awareness matures, it may pervade dreams and sleep on its own. Don’t force continuity—allow it.
Don’t worry about being aware while asleep; relax, be present in the day, and let awareness grow by itself.
