How Long Does It Take To Wake Up After Proposal Is Administered?

I was give propofol for a procedure and was curious how long it normally takes patients to actually wake up. I was apparently in the recovery room for close to 30 minutes before I was actually awake, although the nurse thought I was awake before that because she complained that I had already asked her a certain question 3 times.
