Depends: Many factors affect how quickly meds will leave your system. With both anesthesia and sleeping medications there are a variety of types and mechanisms. Poor functioning liver or kidneys and increased weight may slow down how fast these meds leave the body. Typically within 24 hours, most meds will be below a level to have any affect in most people.

Anesth duration: There are different types of sleeping pills and different kinds of anesthetics and each different type last a different duration. Over the last few decades drug companies have made progress in developing shorter acting anesthetics. There are some anesthetics that can even leave you feeling wide awake minutes after you wake up, while others can leave you feeling groggy even the next day.
