Twilight sleep

Twilight sleep is a special way of giving medicine to a person who is about to have a medical procedure. The medicine is given through a needle or a tube in their arm. The medicine makes the person feel very sleepy or even like they are in a dream.

When a person is in twilight sleep, they may not remember anything that happened during the procedure. It can also make them feel like time is going by faster or slower. Twilight sleep is a very safe way to help someone be comfortable during a medical procedure and is used in hospitals all over the world.
