Your current consciousness, the one you are thinking with right now, would end.

Same thing happens every time you go to sleep. If your consciousness exists you exist, right down to you worrying about continuity of consciousness.

I'd buy this argument if brain death happened every time you went to sleep. Being in maintenance mode doesn't count.
