I have never experienced unconsciousness before. Never have I noticed a jump forward through time. Never have I gone to sleep, under anesthesia or otherwise, and then woke up seemingly the next instance finding out several hours or minutes have passed by. I have been choked out before and all that happens is I felt myself fall out of my body for awhile and then get sucked back into my body. I have been under anesthesia for a couple hours of surgery and there was no lapse of consciousness whatsoever, I remained aware and in fact ultra-lucid. To me awareness and continuity are connected; if for a moment I ceased to be aware than I would surely die in the worst sense of that word. I would be undone, I would be no more, I would cease to exist, I would never live again. Before my surgery I was deeply frightened exactly that would happen as they told me I would be “unconscious” but it never happened. I thought that my body would wake up and some other self would assume control and inherent the memories and personality I once had and that people would mistake that person as being me when in reality it was not but an imposter. Unconsciousness is a lie. I don’t know how people can ever experience a lapse in consciousness, some people apparently every single time they go to sleep. Maybe they die every time they sleep and a different self takes over with the same memories and personality as the previous self. Maybe they have no self and are in fact philosophical zombies (also called spiritless humans or NPCs). I can't comprehend that some people actually jump forward through time having gone through periods of unconsciousness.
