Unconsciousness is not a very useful term since it generally refers
to a person being unaware and unresponsive to their environment. But
to what degree?
Clinicians recognize various levels of consciousness/lack of
consciosness from awake to a persistently vegetative state.
I don't think there is basically any difference between what I take
you to mean by unconscious and a coma.
So, if you mean by unconscious that the person is in a state from
which they cannot be aroused and where they are unresponsive then this
would be the equivalent of a coma.
In this case, the person does not have a sleep/wake cycle.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my REM sleep/movement question!
I now need help on this one.
What is the difference in brain wave patterns for a person who has been
knocked unconscious?
Do they still go through the five stages of sleep?
