To want to experience a general anaesthetic again?

Or something like it?!

I had a general anaesthetic for the first time a few months ago, and as someone who struggles with sleeping the feeling was unreal. One second I felt a bit drunk, the next I was waking up from the deepest sleep of my life with a warm blanket on me and someone bringing me tea and toast 😂 some nights when I’m extra tired and struggling to sleep I think about that feeling and crave it in a weird way.

Is there anything I can do to help me sleep in that way?!

im not sure I need one? I just struggle with sleep, I always have

That's exactly why you should have a sleep study done - there could be an underlying reason which is treatable.

Best thing about my mastectomy was the GA, floating off to sleep (on what felt like a heated marshmallow), and waking up soaked in morphine. Best sleep for the next few days too. Silver lining and all that!
