Quickly: If you are asking how quickly tou will be asleep , after IV induction of anesthesia, usually with propofol, you will be asleep within one minute.

No wait.: After you have left the recovery room you can sleep whenever you want. Rest and sleep are one of the best things for you after surgery. You may be sleepy anyway from the pain medicine you were given.
