  yes this is called “conscious sedation ” so technically the patient is not asleep just very relaxed and not afraid as this is what the drug we use dose
  
  Alternatively patients can be put to ” sleep ” with General Anaesthetic in special circumstances but this is expensive for the NHS or patient as well carries with it risks
