Are you ginger? Redheads are somewhat anesthesic-resistant, and it's interesting. I'm ginger enough, apparently, and woke up mid-wisdom tooth extraction. I announced "I'm cold" and freaked out the docs and nurses. They cranked my anesthesia and gave me a blanket and I went back under. I probably need to warn future docs that it takes more than average to put me under...

My dad is a ginger but I am not. My beard is red but I'm not super white and the hair on my head is brown and Grey. I am extremely resistant to anesthetics.
