🌙 What Twilight Sedation Is

Not fully asleep, not fully awake — the in-between state explained.

Understanding the Basics of Twilight Sedation

  • Twilight sedation, or **conscious sedation**, uses medication to help you relax during a medical procedure.
  • Unlike general anesthesia, it does not require a breathing tube.
  • You remain awake enough to respond to your doctor, but you will feel very drowsy.
  • Most patients find the experience comfortable and feel little anxiety while it is happening.
