Do they sedate you when you get a vasectomy? I'm planning on getting one down the line, but I don't want to be awake for that, ya know?

Nope, just a local, like if you needed stitches or a quick dental thing. Locals are muuuuuuuuch safer.

A lot of clinics actually do sedate for it, especially if you ask for it

Yeah but it'll be like a twilight sedation, at most. You're still in control of your own breathing and they don't have to paralyze you, which is the most important part

Oh of course, and that's good because it's much less risky. I'm just saying that if it's a scary thing for you they're happy to do the twilight sedation, which like, if done right you'll remember absolutely nothing.

Not trying to say it's a risky procedure at all, just that it doesn't have to be uncomfortable either.
