If you were to slowly replace your brain with a cybernetic appliance, you could also have perfect continuity.

Not that it matters; we sleep and wake up, no one freaks out daily that they were unconscious for hours.

No reason to suspect waking up in 3030 after being unfrozen or in 6045 after being cybernetically reanimated would be any more disconcerting physiologically than an extended coma patients experience.

Your continuity is just as illusionous as your free will.

Speak for yourself! Every time I come to there's something to freak out about. Okay, not every time, but waking up is a lot.
