"See through the lights" is sort of a cartoon-image in my head of seeing stars, like he was knocked out by the news.
I imagine it to be that a friend informed him or even his lover told him she's had an affair or was about to have an affair, or was leaving him or something equally disconcerting.
What was going through his head is anyone's reactions to such heart-rending news, he might hurt himself or someone else.
He's saying the information should have been given to him in a less shocking manner.
Too much emotionally shocking information, led him thankfully to sleep, but when he awoke there it was again, his first thoughts.
