Once the surgery is complete, the anesthesiologist will reverse the medication, and you will begin to regain consciousness, but you won’t be wide awake. The patient will be shifted to a recovery room, and the physician will monitor your vitals. It’s OK to sleep if your vitals are fine, and you don’t experience any severe side effects. It’s likely that you will feel sleepy in the first 24 hours after surgery, and it will take some time for your reflexes and judgment to come back to normal.
