hypnotic
chemical substance used to reduce tension and anxiety and induce calm (sedative effect) or to inducesleep (hypnotic effect). Most such drugs exert a quieting or calming effect at low doses and a sleep-inducing effect in larger doses. Sedative-hypnotic drugs tend to depress the central nervous system.Since these actions can be obtained with other drugs, such as opiates, the distinctive characteristic ofsedative-hypnotics is their selective ability to achieve their effects without affecting mood or reducingsensitivity to pain.
