Sopor

Abnormally deep sleep, an unusually profound sleep, a stupor from which it is difficult to rouse a person.

Sopor may be due to a drug.

'Sopor' is Latin for 'deep sleep.' The root is 'somnus,' the Latin for 'sleep' (and the name of the Roman god of sleep.) 'Soporific' has the same derivation.
