>but there is indeed a discontinuity in your consciousness when you sleep. This discontinuity cannot be distinguished from the discontinuity arising from a copy of your brain on first "restart". That amounts to saying "every consciousness discontinuity is of the same level". I.e. that waking from sleep has the same distance from "you" before sleeping, as would a replica of you created by scanning your brain and uploading it to it. Let's put it this way: if we can co-exist, it's not me.
