No your not sleeping as such, but more in a state where your subconcious is accessed.
You have total control when tranced and can hear anything going on around you.Most of the time.Sometimes i have gone too deep and just dreamt whilst the file played and woke up when the file told me too.But 90% of the time i can hear everything going on around me. Sometimes my concious mind wonders and stops listening but i still go under and wake when i am supposed to ,even though my mind is on other things and i can hear the voice in the background.
Basically to answer your question is like answering how long is a piece of string. It Depends on your mood , how tired you are and then each person trances a little differently to others.
If your not sure get a friend to watch you as you listen.The best way to see if someone is under is to watch their eyes and face.There are a few tell tall signs.
A facial flush, total immobility and relaxation, rapid eye movement, eyelid flicker, enhanced salivation (causing frequent swallowing), slowed respiration, drooping lower jaw.

has lots of good questions and answers.
You should try the subliminal files.They let you carry on with your normal day and subliminally make suggestions and you dont need to be tranced.BUT there are many arguments on if they work or not.
hope this halped a little
