I often find myself wondering if the same is true from simply going to sleep at night.

You woke up this morning, and you are likely pretty confident that you’re the same entity that went to sleep yesterday. Are you?

A pause in continuous consciousness is a convenient way to think of a discrete “before” and “after” entity, but why shouldn’t it generalize further? Is the person who occupied your body and saw through your eyes five minutes ago alive in a meaningful way right now?
