When you quaff it, a potion of sleeping will make you fall asleep, blessed for 13-23 turns, uncursed for 25-35 turns and cursed for 37-47 turns, unless you have sleep resistance or free action, in which case "you yawn".[1]
Monsters will throw these at you. If the potion hits you, then the vapors will make you fall asleep ("You feel rather tired.") for 1 to 5 turns, and abuse your dexterity.[2]
If the potion hits a monster, then the monster temporarily sleeps ("(The monster) falls asleep.") for 1 to 12 turns, unless the vapors miss the monster or the monster has sleep resistance.[3]
Dipping a unicorn horn in this potion does not convert it to uncursed water.
Encyclopedia entry
This entry is also used for the potion of booze.
On waking, he found himself on the green knoll whence he had
first seen the old man of the glen. He rubbed his eyes -- it
was a bright sunny morning. The birds were hopping and
twittering among the bushes, and the eagle was wheeling aloft,
and breasting the pure mountain breeze. "Surely," thought Rip,
"I have not slept here all night." He recalled the occurrences
before he fell asleep. The strange man with a keg of liquor --
the mountain ravine -- the wild retreat among the rocks -- the
woe-begone party at ninepins -- the flagon -- "Oh! that flagon!
that wicked flagon!" thought Rip -- "what excuse shall I make
to Dame Van Winkle!"
