sleeping pill
Induces unconscious rest
A sleeping pill is a medication taken to induce or maintain sleep, typically for treating insomnia.
The term covers both prescription sedatives and over-the-counter remedies: I took a sleeping pill but still couldn't fall asleep.
In fiction, sleeping pills often appear as instruments of suicide or murder.
