What is a mild hypnotic drug that relaxes without necessarily producing sleep called?

Sedative

A sedative is a type of drug that produces a calming, relaxing effect on the body. It is often used to treat conditions such as anxiety and insomnia. The other options, such as an analgesic (pain reliever), a stimulant (increase energy and alertness), and an antibiotic (fight bacterial infections) do not have the same effects as a sedative and would not be considered a mild hypnotic drug.
