My original goal was to avoid the extra time and having to organize a ride but also the aftereffects - the last time I felt weird a day or two later (could have been a red herring).

I just found it totally fascinating to see my own insides live in in high res and listen to the doctor and nurses talk about what was going on.

Well, I guess everyone has their own interests. I'm glad you got so much out of it. Personally I have no desire to see and feel myself be rotorootered and am very happy to knocked out, but it would be nice not to have the sedation after effects. The last two times I got one I ended up taking like a 4h nap afterwards. I'd imagine you also wouldn't have the same restrictions around drinking water cutoff times without sedation.
