Against full panpsychism

I have access to two kinds of information about consciousness: I know the occasions on which I am conscious and the occasions on which I am not. Focusing on the second, we get this argument:

1. If panpsychism is true, everything is always conscious.

2. In dreamless sleep, I exist and am not conscious.

3. So, panpsychism is false.

One response is to retreat to a weaker panpsychism on which everything is either conscious or has a conscious part. On the weaker panpsychism, one can say that in dreamless sleep, I have some conscious parts, say particles in my big toe.

But suppose we want to stick to full panpsychism that holds that everything is always conscious. This leaves two options.

First, one could deny that we exist in dreamless sleep. But if we don’t exist in dreamless sleep, then it is not possible to murder someone in dreamless sleep, and yet it obviously is.

Second, one could hold that we are conscious in dreamless sleep but the consciousness is not recorded to memory. This seems a dubious skeptical hypothesis. But let’s think about it a bit more. Presumably, the same applies under general anaesthesia. Now, while I’m far from expert on this, it seems plausible that the brain functioning under general anaesthesia is a proper subset of my present brain functioning. This makes it plausible that my experiences under general anaesthesia are a proper subset of my present wakeful experiences. But none of my present wakeful experiences—high level cognition, sensory experience, etc.—are a plausible candidate for an experience that I might have under general anaesthesia.
