If the inner being did sadhana behind the surface or during the sleep, would I not know it as I do about my dreams?

Not necessarily – the inner being can do many things which the surface mind does not know.

People do not feel all that is going on in them – very little comes to the surface of the ordinary consciousness.

If you feel emptiness, peace, and silence in the midst of the most restless activities, the inner being cannot have withdrawn.
