Chemicals used to trick the body - if used in day to day life you would run the risk (like the people who don't feel pain) of terrible things happening without you knowing.

My guess is perhaps the chemical anaestesia affects the synapses (meaning the junctions between 1 neuron to the other)of the nervous system, which includes the brain ...hence it interrupts the transmission of signals of any pain to the brain. but eventually the chemical effects will wear out... and you will regain consciousness to experience the pain...
That's my 2 cents worth for chemical "numbing" of pain... but as for your part about feeling painless during sleeping... I may have to disagreee with it. I recall waking up many times in pain... LOL!

That's not because you're asleep, it's because anesthesia numbs you.
anesthesia : A drug that blocks pain impulses from nerves.
The prevention of pain. General anesthesia puts the patient to sleep. Local anesthesia numbs a specific body part. Regional anesthesia, such as spinal anesthesia and epidural anesthesia, numbs the nerves that conduct sensation to a circumscribed body area.

I have to say that I have woken up in a lot of pain which didn't bother my sleep at all. My shoulder is killing me and I am quite sure I hurt it while I slept but didn't feel it. So I think that somehow it has someting to do with conscious thought.

i think you are confused between both the terms, anaesthesia and sleep are different. in anasthesia we make the pateint's pain senses numb so the pain receptors block and no pain perception is recieved at higher centres in brain and no pain is felt. but in normal sleep the person feels the pain.

In addition to what the first answer was, when the body is asleep certain receptors of the brain do not acknowledge pain as they do when you are awake.

Not quite true. One time I was having a dream and in it I felt stomach cramps. I woke up and I 'did' have cramps, the same with a headache.
