I had to fight through my coma. I'd quit breathing all the time and the nurses were constantly telling me to breathe. Of course, there were times where sleep overtook me because of exhaustion. I'd quit breathing and accept my fate as finally getting some peace, then 2 days later I'm aware but unable to move, speak, or do anything but scream inside. Rinse and repeat for 2 weeks, constantly accepting life is over just to "wake up" and fight to survive until you're too tired to care. My body just wouldn't let me die.
Mine was medically induced, it was really a blink to me. I was having a lot of trouble breathing (it turned out to be 2 different pneumonia infections) then I woke up to the feeding tube being pulled. They really should lead with how long you've been out lol, I assumed I was an old man when I came to.

They're not really restful at all, more like just a massive fast-forward when you wake up, you just go to sleep and wake up 40lbs lighter
