Food for thought: assume you were in a schroedinger's cat-like situation (not neccessarily life and death), a sentient being in a quantum state. What would you experience? Would you settle into a non-quantum state since you're a sentient observer? Would you experience both states at once?

I'd say you'd flicker between life and death so fast, that it's impossible to tell the difference.

Awareness is a complicated interplay of chemical and electrical signals in your brain. In order for those signals to be there the quantum state has to have already collapsed. Thus, what you are proposing is impossible.

In that case, let us consider the other theories regarding consciousness.
