I hate to sleep afraid I will never wake up, let me ask you something. Where do you go, when you lose consciousness?

Why even bother? You have a brain. The brain isa biological computational devicerunning an electrochemical process.
your consciousness is an emergent property of said process, in other words: You are your electrochemical process.
Fundamentally, you have the experince of a continous existence, you are you at this point in time.
You have a sensation of riding along this continuum of being you, into the future.
On occasion the brain may be subjected to trauma, temporarily discontinuing the electrochemical process.
Suck as a boxer being knocked out.As this occurs, the brain is no longer running,its electrochemical, consciousness generating, process.
Hence consciousness is lost. you lose consciousness. At this point in time, your consciousness, all that is you you continuum of being you has ceased to exist in the physical world.
Now, moments later, the electrochemical process may start up again, allowing consciousness to emerge out of the iformation stored in the brain
But I wonder. Where are you in the meantime? Must we not assume that at the point when consciousness is lost, the person dies?
If a new consciousness appears or not in the same brain is entirely inconsequential to the dead consciousness.
The new consciousness is simply a new person. Because it emerges from the same brain it has access to all the memories and cognitive structures as the dead consciousness, so it thinks it is the same person.
But in actuality it is just an impostor. Inheriting the body and brain from the previous, now dead, inhabitant.
