What anaesthetics are revealing about consciousness

I've been under anesthesia once and it was a wild expirence. It is not like sleep at all. Feels more like a time warp. The main difference is that with sleep you still have some sense of time. Anesthesia feels like teleporting into the future in one blink.

I couldnt stop thinking about how it felt for weeks.
