You aren’t telling me anything I don’t already know.

The sentence that best paraphrases the first sentence of the excerpt is "You aren't telling me anything I don't know". This is because the narrator uses the metaphor of "rousing me from a deep sleep" as saying that he was aware of the situation that was going on, it wasn't that he didn't know about it.
