"One ...problem was how to combine the denial of an underlying atman, or Self ...with the continuum of an individual. For though one moment of consciousness is said to give rise to the following moment, what could explain the reappearance of consciousness after its interruption by deep sleep or unconsciousness..."

I think this is exactly the delusion that Buddha teaches to be aware. There is no denial. To denial is to fight, to hold, to be stressed by... to elaborate views. Anatta is to be experienced by means of insight; of an attentive inspection of how things arise and fade; impermanence... The continuum of an individual is the core delusive thought. IMO the ariseing and fadeing away of fabrications do not mean a "continuum of an individual".
