sleeplike
Resembling a slumber
Sleeplike describes something resembling sleep in quality or appearance: a sleeplike trance, the sleeplike stillness of the comatose patient.
The word suggests the outward characteristics of sleep—stillness, closed eyes, unresponsiveness—without necessarily being sleep itself.
