Generally, the therapeutic effects of hypnotic sedatives are dose-dependent, i.e. they depend on the amount of drug administered.
At low doses, hypnotic sedatives induce sedation, at higher doses they cause hypnosis (ie sleep) and - further increasing the dose - can be used in surgical anesthesia.
Often and willingly, hypnotic sedatives are associated with anxiolytic drugs. However, it is not correct to make such an association. Indeed, many hypnotic sedatives also have anxiolytic activity, but not all anxiolytics induce sedation.
