Being under anesthesia is the closest thing you can experience to actually being dead.

When you go under for surgery , it feels so peaceful but time doesnt even matter, you dont even know it or aware of anything.

Then you wake up a few hours later groggy and feeling good.

Imo death will be like that except you wont ever wake up.

side thought - I wish i could somehow OD on anesthesia lol.

There are people who actually die under anesthesia. Must be nice in my opinion, it's the closest death to sleep I think. I only ever remeber the doctor counting down and the bubblegum taste I have .

They have me countdown with them and then I'm completely knocked out. Best feeling ever

I've never been under anesthesia before. It must be wonderful though to experience that temporary nothingness, even know it doesn't last for eternity. Regular sleep is not peaceful enough for me as there are dreams. To me peace is the absence of everything. But there really is nothing more ideal than to permanently cease to exist. This life will finally be forgotten about and we won't even be aware that we are dead. It's all that I want. Consciousness is a burden and I'm tired of existing.

Then death is truly the void, a vacuum. Not great, not horrific. Just nothing. I don't think that's how it is but then again it's true that when you lose consciousness everything just dissappears. Materialists have an advantage in this field.
