Laughing Gas does not put you to sleep. You can still respond to Dr. Ang’s requests and answer questions. Your speech may be slightly slurred, and your responses may be slower than usual. In general, you will be relaxed and cooperative. You will know when you are receiving an injection, and you may even feel it. Your breathing and heartbeat will still be normal.
