A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

When we sleep, we are technically half-dead. So, wouldn't it be safe to say that everyone currently living has died many times?

Nah.
You're just taking liberties with your misinterpretations.
Tho that is fun to do, so nothing wrong with discussing it.

My method for resolving this would be : Monitor your heart rate and breathing, monitor the heart rate and breathing of a dead person, if they match then sure.

If you adjusted your analogy to unconsciousness, and compared sleep to something near death, like a coma, braindead person, or something else (idk I'm not knowledgeable about medical stuff) then I think that conversation could go interesting places.

Good question tho.
