When the Bible mentions people being asleep, it means they are dead and are not conscious of anything,

---

That is true but when Paul said we shall not all sleep, he could have meant that we will be changed at the time of death rather than sleep for a hundred or a thousand years or more like many did.

He did not say we would not die.

Yes he did say that those alive at the Resurrection would not die but be changed to uncorruptible spiritual bodies, like Yeshua explained to Nicodemus in John 3:8.
