You can get strong sleeping pills that will just knock you TF out, no question.

I tried one about 10 years back when I couldn't sleep, thinking "ah why not try this little tablet, and have a nice relaxing sleep". 14 hours later I woke up and it felt like I had been hit with a tree trunk. For the next day I felt weak, then I was okay.

I've been afraid to try one since- but there is NO QUESTION that strong sleeping tablets will have you out like a light.

The sleep is more like being knocked out than asleep...if that makes sense.
