Discord made clear he was awake as a statue after being petrified by the Elements. But Twilight wasn't when the cockatrice turned her to stone, it was like waking up, she asked what happened, and Fluttershy told her the whole story. From the name of the stone SLEEP spell (alluded to in A Rockhoof and a Hard Place), it had the same effect on them, and I think that's what suspended animation - which Jim Miller called it - is like as well. Arguably that's even kinder than being thrown in Tartarus, even if this sleep lasts forever.
