I had a really hard time getting the anesthesia out of my system this time. It took until last week (from April 25) for my mom to say she saw my energy back to normal. And I still sleep more than usual some days. My mom says it even took me a long time to wake up from the anesthesia this time. I remember a nurse telling me that if I would take deep breaths the beeping would stop; apparently I was preferring sleep over breathing.
I had ankle surgery 8 years ago and woke up with a 10 inch dressing/cast thing. The nurse was holding my hands to keep me from trying to tear it off. Apparently my not-awake mind did not want that thing on me. That time anesthesia was much easier to handle. I wish they'd used the same drugs this time. If I ever have surgery again I'm going to talk to them about that surgery as the one that I tolerated best.

I think it could be helpful to ask questions about your sleepwalking/activities.
Anesthesia is such strange stuff. A couple of years ago I had surgery on my achilles tendon. I was so embarrassed, because when I awoke the nurse laughed and asked me if I remembered sitting up and yelling, "I'm hot! I'm hot!" and trying to tear my hospital gown off . Nope, no memory of it, but I know I do feel overheated easily.
