How common is awareness during anesthesia? For what reasons does it occur? Why might someone be more susceptible to it?
I have a history of staying aware longer than expected (taking longer to "put down") and also becoming aware in the middle of procedures. The time it happened during a surgical dental procedure was pure nightmare fuel.
[I don't smoke marijuana. My mother has actually had the same problem, so we always thought perhaps it was genetic. I have also had difficulties with lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis for as long as I can remember.]
