>Am I the same person I was yesterday, before going to sleep? How can I be certain of that? If I'm not aware I was dead and woke up in clone, am I still a copy?
This is all just paranoid.
>Am I the same person I was yesterday, before going to sleep
Yes. What happened is that your brain went into a sleep mode. There's still continuity of the neurological processes and physical continuity of your neurons.
>How can I be certain of that
How can you be certain of anything? You could be a brain without body connected to a machine. You could be a completely different life form connected to a computer that simulates your life as a human. These discussions are pointless.
>If I'm not aware I was dead and woke up in clone, am I still a copy?
Yes because you lost the continuity. The neurons that are you died. You are dead. There's a copy of you living.

Questions you raised in this comment are much more valid. Ship of Theseus, for one, is when this conversation starts getting increasingly interesting and difficult.
I was responding only to the particular things I quoted, which all have clear answers.
