I got a procedure done and they used an anesthesia which I believe is called “Propofol”. It put me out so fast, it felt like I got violently dragged into sleep. Immediately after I saw that white liquid being injected in my vein, I passed out.

It doesn’t really “put you to sleep” so much as interrupt the chemical interactions of your brain cells and just stops your brain from being able to work.
So in a sense your brain has been forcefully “shut down” and cannot remember what happened. You’re usually not asleep yet but you will not remember.
You know how anesthesia may ask you to count down or count up? Usually patients will remember counting from 1-5 and then they think they passed out but actually they counted to 10-15 but just don’t remember it.
