What are some types of drugs that make you sleep deeply for hours and hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benzodiazepines: Benzodiazepines can produce a lengthy sleep. Valium has a very long half-life (25 hours). Halcion (triazolam) can induce sleep quickly but has a much shorter half life. Barbiturates can induce a lengthy sleep but may cause quite an after-affect (hangover).
