Except that you likely would not expereince it as "you". There is some evidence to strongly suggest that you "know" who you are. You know the size of your body, the way your fingers feel (you have a slight nerve-dead spot on your pointer finger from an accident you had 13 years ago), even teh way you perceive light. When I had a strange type of migrain, it gave me a slight blind spot in one eye for a second. I woke up with it, but knew instantly that something was wrong.

you would wake up, expecting your body, your sensations, your emotional reaction (which is not just brain, but hormones, and physical tension), and you would not feel like you.

so who would you be?
