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.

    I remember blinking and hours disappeared. It’s like dying. You simply don’t exist and have zero recollection of anything.

    When I was woken up I was shivering like I was outside in the winter in my birthday suit. They said it’s normal and used a heater/blower to warm me up.
