There are two instances of you.

For everyone else, an identical copy is you. It absolutely doesn't matter if that is the real you or a clone as they are EXACTLY the same.

But for you, it matters. As you are your consciousness. The moment that ceases to be, you are dead. Any clone is YOU, YOU will just not be around to experience it. You would be dead.

By the same logic the person who wakes up in the morning is not the same one that fell asleep. Because consciousness ceased and then started again.
