Have I Ever Put Myself to Sleep?No, and I never will. It’s a question I get asked often, and it opens the door to an important conversation.As an anesthesia provider, I have access to medications like Propofol—the same ones used to put patients to sleep. Sadly, there’s a high incidence of abuse within the anesthesia profession because of this access.

I wondered: What will it feel like? What if something goes wrong?When the Propofol was administered, I simply drifted off to sleep—no fanfare, no overwhelming sensations.
