Many years ago, I received a mild sedative while undergoing an endoscopy via my throat. Apparently, that's not a pleasant experience. I say apparently because I have no memory of it other than asking the nurse when they were going to start ... after the procedure was completed. I remember getting injected with the stuff and I remember me asking that question because I was getting bored just lying there. I don't remember losing consciousness, being asleep, or waking up, or anything like that. It's just a gap in my memory while they did their thing. Amazing stuff. I'm assuming I was conscious and responsive throughout.
I had proper surgery a few days later which involved being knocked out for two hours or so. That's a whole different situation. You start counting down and you are gone within a few seconds.
