Wikipedia
Sopor (sleep)

Sopor is a condition of abnormally deep sleep or a stupor from which it is difficult to rouse. It involves a profound depression of consciousness, which is manifested by drowsiness, while maintaining coordinated defensive reactions to stimuli such as pain, harsh sound, and bright light, and preserving vital functions. Sopor may be caused by a drug; such drugs are deemed soporific. A stupor is worse than a sopor.

The name is derived from Latin sopor ( cognate with the Latin noun somnus and the Greek noun ὐπνος, hypnos).

I also listen to Ataraxia, Mantra, and Sopor Aeternus, and dark ambient stuff like Endura.

Sopor Aeternus brought back tender memories of listening with Sheena as well as creating an appropriately heartaching mood.
