How it works in Champions

Causes the target to fall at the end of the next turn. Fails when used if the target cannot fall asleep or if it already has a condition. At the end of the next turn, if the target is still active, does not have a non-volatile status condition, and can fall asleep, it falls asleep. If the target becomes affected, this effect cannot be prevented by Safeguard or a substitute, or by falling asleep and waking up during the effect.
