Have you ever been under general anesthesia? What was it like? Did anything strange happen? (sopuli.xyz)

As a compliment to the thread about near death experiences I'd really like hearing people's experiences of losing consciousness under general anesthesia and what's it like coming back.

Also interested of things anesthetists may have noticed about this during their career.

That Propofol and/or Fentanyl sleep is something else. For about a week after surgery I slept the most wonderful sleep.

    I don't recall any lasting sleep benefits, but you're absolutely right that there ain't NOTHIN like a Propofol nap. Amazing. And when I woke up, completely, instantly awake, no grogginess or hangover effect.

    No wonder MJ was addicted.

    I don’t know what they gave me. I don’t recall them ever telling me. I do know that my sleep for the next three weeks sucked due to pain, and an abscess that got a little bit out of control.
