All arguments about consciousness requiring continuity suffer from this basic flaw. Even if during normal sleep we still have continuity in some sense, there are other situations (general anaesthesia, concussion, those people who temporarily drown in freezing water) where it's hard to argue we have any kind of ongoing conscious function.
It seems pretty clear to me that consciousness is an ongoing process arising from our brain function and that 'we' are recreated from thought to thought and experience to experience.
