Counter: I remember what I did last week. BOOM! Lawyered!
a new consciousness is created that maintains the same memories and experiences as the old one. I guess its a similar argument to that of ''Is the clone really identical to the original''
What scares me is going to sleep to wake up and going thru something similar to what Sakuta experienced with Mai and Kaede (more with Kaede, since I have 2 little sisters).
Waking up forgetting the entire existence of somebody or waking up with a loved one of me completely changed.
I had trouble taking that creepypasta seriously but seeing "I HAVE SEEN THINGS THAT CANNOT BE UNSEEN" in an attempt to establish horror killed it for me.
I'd like it better if the people just died of a heart attack once they were sedated, rather than the super-human strength stuff.
Sorry lass, you aren't scarier than the Russian Sleep Experiment creepypasta so I'm gonna peace out to sleep.
How anyone finds that childish garbage scary is beyond me, it's just some nonsensical gore.
The mere premise also turns laughable once you learn that a teenager stayed awake for 11 days straight with little issues, none of which lasted after a mere 14 hours of rest.

Ditto. They used a bizarre picture of a monster(?) so it immediately made anyone think "the Russians turned people into scary vampires!" as soon as they were faced with the story. Definitely a weaker one.
A teleportation machine is invented, but some protest that it in fact kills the original and creates a clone. The most passionate protester meets the creator, who argues that people are not made up of specific atoms but of specific patterns of atoms, and his machine is no different then going to sleep and losing consciousness.
This makes the guy even more paranoid that he dies each time he sleeps. He becomes a neurotic mess and throws away his career for hedonism, loses money, and becomes a bum. After a few years, he decides to finally end his life, but then realizes he would be denying the existence of his future selves, making him a murderer. He realizes that even if his paranoia was true, the lives of his future selves are still meaningful and there's no value in ruining them over fear of death. He finally buys a ticket to the teleportation machine to start a fresh, new life elsewhere.
