the wikipedia article doesnt do much about how it works.
The best article is probably Lieb and Franks, How to general anaesthetics work ?
Nature 1984
They basically say that they are GABA-ergic, bit complicated
Which bits of the brain get turned off first - hmm not sure about that, but then the whole lot.
This is not sleep by the way - the difference being that in sleep you can be aroused, and anaesthesia by definition, you can't.
