The trolley problem but the only way to pull the lever is to take a nap first.

Since your consciousness stopped and then a new was started from the same meat is it still you?

If it is, then surely a new consciousness constructed from a pile of meat identical to your brain would also be you?

It does stop. When you are asleep you are unconscious.

What we call "unconsciousness" is really just a state of reduced consciousness. Your mind is maintained throughout, and you're still aware of the outside world, just to a lesser extent.
