A potion that sends the drinker to sleep, brewed from flobberworm mucus, lavender and valerian sprigs.

The Sleeping Draught, also called the Sleeping Potion, sends the drinker to sleep, and the recipe appears in Magical Drafts and Potions. Strength shows in the finished potion: brewed properly it has an even consistency and a dark purple colour, and a paler shade means a weaker dose. It is not a dangerous potion even when brewed badly, since concentration changes only how long the drinker stays asleep.
