Soporific

Soporific calming; hypnotic; sedative; something that causes a person to get sleepy. The lecture was soporific. I was glad to catch up on my sleep. Memory trick: soporific sounds like sofa. we can fall asleep on a sofa or couch. At work: Our advertisements were soporific until we added talking monkeys. Now they are entertaining.
