Is there a verb for "putting someone to sleep"?
For example, how would one replace the ....
with a single word in the following sentence:
If you are tossing and turning and you just can't fall asleep, then I'll sing a song to .... you`?
Upon googling a bit, I found some verbs like sedate
, muffle
, benumb
, but they seem to have a slightly negative connotation to them.
What will be a good, neutral kind of a verb for "putting someone to sleep"?
