Why can’t we just choose not to wake up everyday?

If the point after death is to have enough self awareness to choose not to go into the light, I was thinking about which death would be easier. I have adhd so it spiraled. Like if you died suddenly in a car crash it may be more difficult to discern that you’re actually dead vs if you know you’re sick & have time to prepare. Then I thought what if you died in you’re sleep, you could be very easily tricked into the light cuz you’d think you were dreaming. Then I thought what if every night we die & every morning we’re tricked into returning. (Which would also explain why life’s so freaking repetitive. Don’t tell me just enjoy life or whatever, for the majority of ppl life is inescapably repetitive most days.) Why would you have to wait for death if you’ve mastered lucid dreaming & astral projection. Hypothetically, you’re soul is leaving you’re body either way, death or astral projection, so if you’re fully conscious in your dream state & this is a matrix, can’t you just choose not to return to your body?
