Iām neither a sleep nor brain expert (or amateur even), still, I know that the āyouā part of your brain occurs largely in the prefrontal cortex while more basic stuff occurs at the back, like the brainstem.
Thatās why lobotomies āworkedā ā no more āyouā, no more mental health issues!
For waking up, I donāt think any āyouā part is needed. Audio processing and some consciousness starter are probably all thatās needed.
I donāt consider myself to be the entirety of my brain. I am the abstraction of abstractions of ⦠that has emerged for some reason. Shutting those abstractions down for sleeping is, in my opinion, no different from this scenario. I wouldnāt consider brainstem continuity to be a relevant factor.
