“How long does it take for anesthesia to put you to sleep?”
I am a 17 year old male who will undergo anesthesia soon. Will I fall asleep instantly or is it more gradual? How long does it take for anesthesia to put you to sleep?

You won't believe how quickly you are put to sleep. At the count of 1..2..3, you will be out!!
Believe it or not, usually in less than 10 seconds from the moment the Propofol is injected until you fall asleep. When you wake up, you feel like time never happened (i.e. you fall asleep at 7am and you are asleep for 2 hours, and you feel that is still 7am).
