Are you technically dead if you hold in your breath?

Where do you draw the line? Isn't sleeping also in a way "death"

I would say no since your brain, and heart for that matter, are still functioning. Someone earlier suggested sleeping == unconsciousness. I’m not a doc, but I don’t think that’s true.

Someone else also mentioned that a brain could essentially work no problem if given a blood supply. So heart beating is certainly not a necessity. Brain death is truly the only real form of death if you ask me
