Colonoscopy itself is no big deal, you’re out for the whole thing!
I mean if you’re in pain, sure, do it.
Otherwise I recommend staying awake (do ask your doctor though). I had a blast looking so deep inside me, but I had no issues (like tumors or inflammation) and the awful drink actually cured my constipation (the chronic constipation being the reason why I had colonoscopy in the first place).
I had an endoscopy (gastroscopy is the word I think?) once (tube from the front and they took something for biopsy) and I cried and gagged with snot during the whole procedure. I concur, I’d rather be out next time I have to have it.

If it had JUST been a colonoscopy, yeah, but they wanted an endoscopy as well (“Oh, a spit roast!” - “Don’t call it that!”)
I’ve had so many medical things done that I always opt to be out when possible.
