People who died for a few minutes and came back to life, what were those minutes like?

I definitely wasn't dead in any sense but about a month ago I took a fall and hit my head. I didn't lose consciousness immediately and made my way to sit down on a bar stool in our kitchen as I was out of breath and shaky from the injury and the adrenaline. I woke up maybe a minute later on the floor feeling like I was just waking up from a good nights sleep, perfectly comfortable at first and then confused why I was on the tile floor and why the dog was licking my face. It took about 10 seconds to piece it all together. I ended up going to the ER and was diagnosed with a fractured rib (which I am not sure whether it happened falling down the stairs or off the bar stool) and a concussion. What stood out to me was that it was nothing like waking up from anesthesia or even waking from a quick nap. I was so comfortable and felt rested in those first few seconds coming to which was the strangest part of it all.
