Say someone called you a sleeper( And this is fictional)
And you came from the Hypnos clan. What is a better word dricribing sleep rather than Hypnos
Something that isn't way obvious....like " Sleep" That's to obvious, I need an over exaggerated word, possibly coming from greek roots.

"Soma"
From Wikipedia:
"In Aldous Huxley's dystopian novel Brave New World, Soma is the popular dream-inducing drug which is employed by the government as a method of control through pleasure and immediate availability. It is ordinary among the culture of the novel for everyone to use it for whatever various practices: sex, relaxation, concentration, confidence. It is seemingly a single-chemical combination of many of today's drugs' effects, giving its patients the full hedonistic spectrum"

The Greek root for sleep is narco-
narcolepsy is uncontrolled sleeping bouts.
narcotics were originally to put you to sleep.
