A wand of sleep puts monsters it hits to sleep.

You can use it to help defeat (or escape) difficult monsters (unless the monster has sleep resistance); just be careful where the beam bounces. In a coaligned temple, you can use this wand to park a heavy monster on the altar so that you can kill it there without having it run away from you.

When engraving, this wand gives the same message as a wand of death.
