It's interesting because with 'normal sleep' you still have an awareness of time passing (i.e you wake up 'knowing' it's later than when you went to sleep), but with a GA you have no perception of time passing, hence why people will often ask 'has it happened yet' (as I have any times!) because you feel like you've just blinked......
Will ask the Wife for the science bit as she's a 'gas lady'....

I don't recognise any of these strange reactions. For me it was just like sleeping and waking up.
Has JojoA1 had her op? Has she come round yet? Have the staff trimmed her pubes this time, and put a sticker on her?
I think we need to be told...
Aww get well soon jo
*hugs* *kisses*
Hello folks. They must have refined the procedures in the last 20 years. I felt fine. Very mildly woozy and ravenously hungry. 
Oh, and I couldn't stop shivvering and had to have a hot air blanket for a bit cos my core temp had dropped too much.
Didn't get a chance to ask the anaesthetist about brainwaves, he was too busy asking about mountainbiking!
Edit: no stickers, just ornery dressings and no pube trimmage, just a second belly button created! 
Excellent news. I remember feeling cold now you mention it; dressed only in a thin gown and under just a light blanket, I was bloody freezing. They keep you cold for a reason apparently, but I can't remember why.
Didnt feel like sleep at all to me just like someone spliced two bits of my life together. Last thing I remember was saying - no my arm feels cold. Next was opening my eyes and asking if it was done yet.
2nd last op I knocked back the g/a. Didn't fancy it had a spinal injection being awake was a Interesting experance. The last op I had I did have a g/a due to what the were planing on doing to my knee, you can't be sleeping IMO when ur under It feels weird when you wake up
only ga I've had, I came round in the recovery room still with a tube in my throat. They whipped it out pretty quick, but for a brief period that wasn't nice.
