Hmm... They MUST dose you up on something during intubation, otherwise patients would be falling outa bed and pulling tubes out n stuff. I remember a woman from a self help group mentioning the name of a drug they put you on. Put her on anyway, every time she's been in that situation. I remember her saying how it 'shuts you up' so the docs n nurses get peace n quiet but leaves you fully awake, which is essential to rate progress. You can sleep of course, but I think my wakefulness and dreams were kinda merged. What did help alot was when they started letting me use caffeine (coffee n tea). Amazing stuff in the right situation.
