This happened to me when I had general anesthesia with propofol a few days ago. I am a Norwegian native speaker, but when I woke up on the operating table I spoke English to the nurses for 2-3 minutes. They pointed out to me several times that I was speaking in English, but at first I wasn't really able to switch to Norwegian. Don't know why. I was quite groggy and elated and told them a few quite private things which are now a bit embarrassing to think about, all in English. When I finally switched to Norwegian they seemed pleased and left me alone. There's a theory about this phenomenon in this paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1365-2044.2004.04082.x https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1365-2044....
