Its impossible to know obviously. Generally I read that continuity is considered key to establishing that its the “same” but for all we know each time we go under anesthesia or sleep and wake up if we’re a new person. Or hell every planck second we’re a new person for all we know.
I have surgeries I want to get, and this is actually a major anxiety for me. Only real solace i have is i blinked in bed once and teleported 5 hours, which is similar to the feeling that those woken from anesthesia report
