Sleeping pills and sedatives. Fast-acting sleeping pills

Often a woman has to face the question - how to put a drunken husband to sleep with minimal consequences for his health?

Why is normal sleep so important after drinking? The reason is that the body needs all its strength to process the incoming toxins. And the conscious state of a drunk person will only harm the liver and kidneys. Who knows where the owner of these organs will fit?

In addition, under the influence of alcohol a person becomes aggressive and can harm himself and others. Is it possible to put a rowdy person to sleep using medications? And is it worth doing this at home?

Sleeping pills

In order to normalize sleep, doctors prescribe various medications to patients:

Drugs of the first group can be used without a doctor’s prescription. Others - only under the supervision of a neurologist or psychiatrist. These medications have a large number of contraindications and side effects.

Ethyl alcohol and drugs

Alcoholic drinks have unpredictable effects on any body. It is difficult to say how ethyl alcohol will affect medications.

There are 3 types of interaction:

enhances the effect of the drug;
reduces the therapeutic effect;
acts unpredictably - causes various allergic reactions, swelling.

For example, barbiturate-based drugs in combination with alcohol can cause respiratory arrest. So it may be possible to put a husband or a drunken brawler to sleep forever.

Antidepressants combined with alcohol increase blood pressure to critical levels. And a drunk person increases the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke.

Drugs such as diazepam and phenazipam enhance their inhibitory effect when paired with alcoholic beverages. A person develops psychosis, loses personal orientation, and in difficult cases, respiratory and cardiovascular depression occurs.

You should not try to put a drunkard to sleep using medications without a doctor’s prescription.

This can lead to dire consequences. You don't want to kill your husband, do you?

How to calm down a rowdy?

It is quite difficult to quickly sober up a drunk person at home. To do this, you can use the following recommendations:

But in a short time it is possible to bring a drunken husband or other person to his senses only in a medical institution. At the narcological department, the drunkard will be given medication and undergo dialysis and plasmapheresis.

Currently, many paid clinics offer home calls to a specialist.

Safe drugs for a drunk person

Doctors identify several medications that are safe for a drunk person. The main active ingredients of this group of drugs are cyclopyrrones.

Imidazopyrine preparations such as Zolpidem and Snovitel are approved for use. They are available only with a doctor's prescription and are taken under the supervision of medical professionals.

Any experiments with sleeping pills and alcohol are fraught with danger to human life and health. And using them at home means exposing your husband or son to additional danger.

Non-standard methods of putting an alcoholic to sleep

Humanity has faced problems with forced immersion in sleep since the dawn of civilization.

Scientists offer 2 solutions to the problem

pressing on certain points on the body;
hypnosis.

Empirically, points on the body were identified that, when pressed, a person fell into sleep or unconsciousness. This skill can be useful for pacifying a drunken rowdy.

Where are the “sleepy spots” located?

You need to act on these points carefully, as there is a possibility of damaging the eyes, nose and other parts of the face. And the reaction of a drunk person can be unpredictable.

Hypnotherapy is an effective way to put a patient to sleep for a while. Hypnotic sleep is not a complete substitute for physiological sleep. At the same time, the connection with the patient is not lost. An experienced doctor should induce a state of hypnosis.

Prohibited methods of falling asleep

Various Internet forums are full of advice for wives of alcoholics. Some of them will really help, while others will harm.

Prohibited techniques:

Scold, scream, make trouble. Your efforts will go to waste, since a drunk person is unable to adequately perceive criticism. In addition, it is unknown how an alcoholic will react to attempts at education. Wait until morning.
Use sleeping pills without supervision and prescription from a doctor. Even those that you take personally and without health consequences. Paired with alcohol, this will give an unpredictable result.
Do not repeat the actions of G. Vitsin from “The Adventures of Shurik”. Chloroform is not a toy, but an anesthetic.
Don't hit your head with a frying pan. In addition to alcohol intoxication, a traumatic brain injury will be added. Then you should treat the sufferer.

If the degree of intoxication is low, then carry out home detoxification measures. Then give the brawler some milk or tea and put him to bed. If the person is inadequate, then call an ambulance and take the drunkard to the hospital. There they will take him out of his drinking bout, improve his health, and put him to bed.

At the first signs of insomnia, many resort to taking sleeping pills. It is worth noting that not all of them are safe for the body. Many have a huge number of side effects and contraindications. In addition, most of them are addictive, and sudden withdrawal leads to withdrawal symptoms.

Therefore, you should choose medications that help you fall asleep quickly, with caution, or better yet, after consulting a doctor. We will learn further about which sleeping pills have a fast-acting effect and are most safe for health.

Before you start taking medications to combat insomnia, you should find out the cause of this condition. Here are the main ones:

stress;
experiences;
anxiety states;
– respiratory stops during night rest;
bad habits;
overwork;
mental and physical stress;
long-term use of medications;
drinking caffeinated drinks before bed;
existing diseases - bronchial asthma, thyroid problems, oncology, kidney and liver diseases, pathologies of the digestive tract.

In addition, changing time zones and moving can be a source of sleep difficulties.

Sleeping pills are divided into several groups:

Benzodiazepine group. Suitable for those who have trouble sleeping due to unreasonable anxiety, fear, worries and phobias. This includes Phenazepam, Sibazon. If you use medications from this group for a long time - more than 2 weeks, this will lead to dependence and increased symptoms. With a single dose, the use of benzodiazepines does not lead to any negative consequences.
Barbiturate acid derivatives. Used in cases of serious sleep disorders. This group includes: “Barbital”, “Hexobarbatal”, “Phenobarbital”, “Relodorm”. Prescribed as anticonvulsants, hypnotics, and relaxants. With prolonged use, addiction syndrome may develop. In addition, barbiturates reduce the time of REM sleep. When purchasing, the pharmacist requires a doctor's prescription.
Preparations with melatonin. These medications are among the safest. Do not affect sleep cycles, do not cause drowsiness or fatigue during the day. This group includes: “Melaxen”, “Melarena”, etc.
Z- drugs. The most effective and safe means with a hypnotic effect. They have no side effects, and no cases of overdose have been observed. It is worth noting that too long use leads to addiction. This group includes Ivadol, Andante, Zopiclone.

There is another group of drugs that affects the quality of sleep - antihistamines. This includes Diprazine and Diphenhydramine. Not suitable for the treatment of severe forms of insomnia.

Fast-acting drugs are prescribed for difficulties falling asleep, numerous awakenings at night, shallow sleep, as well as increasing the duration of night rest, eliminating agitation, and improving sleep quality.

It is worth noting that all drugs with a hypnotic effect that have a quick effect have one thing in common. They help relax muscles and suppress the activity of certain areas of the brain responsible for tension and anxiety.

Important! All drugs with hypnotic effects lengthen the duration of the REM sleep phase, but reduce the deep sleep stage.

It may be that taking medications with a soporific effect is not necessary at all. Indeed, in most cases, sleep problems can be eliminated by adjusting nutrition, daily routine, giving up bad habits, etc.

Even in ancient times, doctors and other people practicing medicine tried to find a way to painlessly put a person to sleep. It is reliably known that even in the Stone Age, primitive people already performed complex surgical operations, and even amputation of limbs, but for many centuries, ancient surgeons and doctors were interested in the question: how to put a person to sleep?

The very first attempts to completely euthanize a person were made in Egypt and Syria. A person was put to sleep by squeezing the vessels of the neck; this method was used during circumcision operations. A method of disabling a person by bloodletting was also tested, which caused anemia of the brain. Sometimes such attempts ended very tragically and it was no longer possible to wake up a person after such manipulations. It is logical to assume that the discovery of anesthesia belongs to one surgeon, or maybe even a group of surgeons, because it was surgeons who most faced the problem of putting a person to sleep and turning off his consciousness during an operation. However, it is not.

The first person to use anesthesia was the unknown doctor Thomas Morton. Dr. Morton was constantly in need of patients, as people were afraid of the pain that the dentist gave them during treatment, and therefore preferred to go with old and decayed teeth, just not to suffer. T. Morton was an ardent opponent of this situation and chose for his experiments the best anesthetic available at that time: diethyl ether. He approached experiments with ether very responsibly, conducted various experiments on animals, and after experiments on animals, he began to remove the teeth of his fellow dentists. Morton then constructed a very primitive apparatus for anesthetizing patients, and only when he was completely confident in his success did he decide to conduct a public demonstration of his anesthesia. On October 16, 1846, he called a surgeon he knew to remove a jaw tumor, and left himself the role of the world's first anesthesiologist. (Dr. Wells's previous demonstration of anesthesia was a fiasco due to poor choice of anesthetic and Wells's combination of two functions in one person: surgeon and anesthesiologist). The operation took place in deathly silence, and the patient slept peacefully. The doctors who gathered at the demonstration were amazed. The patient woke up to deafening applause from the audience.

But what if the matter does not concern medicine, and we need this skill in everyday life? How to put a drunk person to sleep? Many people are familiar with situations where a person becomes violent while intoxicated, but few are able to stop his violence. How to put a person to sleep with your hands? There are several ways to put a person to sleep.

Even in the Ancient East they knew that there are special points on the human body, when pressed on which a person falls unconscious. One of them is located on the shoulders (a little closer to the neck); when you sharply press this point, a sharp impulse is sent to the brain, causing the person to fall. There is also a carotid artery, when pressed the same thing happens - a person falls unconscious. But you should always be careful when pressing any points on your body, as each person is different and the effect may vary.

Chloroform is also often used for euthanasia. This is an old method, and each of us has seen at least one film in which a little of this liquid is poured onto a handkerchief and then pressed against the face of the person they want to put to sleep.

The most easily accessible and simple way to quickly put a person to sleep is to give him a sleeping pill. Nowadays, any pharmacy sells many different medications that help a person fall asleep very quickly. On the issue of euthanasia: previously in Russia, criminal cases of euthanasia of people with clonidine were very common. They simply slipped it into a person’s alcohol, and then calmly robbed the apartment. It has now been proven that clonidine together with alcohol has a very negative effect on the human body, so you should not use clonidine to put a person to sleep while intoxicated.

At the end of the article, I would like to note that putting a person to sleep is not the easiest thing. It is difficult to even say how to put a person to sleep for an hour, not to mention the complete and prolonged immersion of a person in sleep, especially only with the help of hands. Of course, there are various drugs, hypnosis and points on the human body, but all these are very long and unreliable methods. Therefore, there is simply no painless way to instantly euthanize a person.

How to put a person to sleep

Since ancient times, people have been interested in sleep and tried to find “sleepy spots” on the human body. It was very important for doctors and healers to know how to put a person to sleep, for example, suffering from insomnia, and for warriors such knowledge helped immobilize the enemy.

Operations such as amputation of limbs were carried out even by primitive people, and they needed all manipulations to be as painless as possible.

One of the methods of euthanasia was squeezing the vessels of the neck, which was first tried by the Syrians and Egyptians. Ether anesthesia was first tried in the 19th century before jaw surgery.

In different situations, it may be necessary to search for sleepy points and their location on the human body. Sometimes a person needs this skill in everyday life. For example, in order to calm a person who is intoxicated.

Even in ancient times, people knew that when certain points on a person’s body were pressed, he could fall unconscious. One of these points is located on the shoulder a little closer to the neck; pressing on it leads to loss of consciousness. The same thing happens when you press on the carotid artery. And this can be used as a way to put a drunk person to sleep.

Many people suffering from insomnia are interested in where the sleepy spot may be located. Every person has several of them on their body.

By pressing them you can relax as much as possible, which will make it possible to get rid of the signs of insomnia:

A point that is located one centimeter from the outer corner of the eye. In order to put a person to sleep as quickly as possible, it should be massaged with the index and middle fingers;
The area between the eyebrows. To activate it, you need to press it several times with your index finger;
A point about a finger's width from the nostrils is massaged in a circular motion;
In order for relaxation to occur as quickly as possible, you need to press on the points above the eyeballs with two fists, then lower your eyelids and try to “see” your own legs with your inner gaze.

Advice! When pressing various points on the body, you need to be extremely careful, since the reaction of each individual human body can be simply unpredictable.

How to quickly influence and put a drunk person to sleep? After all, in such a state, anyone can behave unpredictably and inappropriately. To do this, it will be enough to buy sleeping pills at the pharmacy. Today there are many products that produce a similar effect.

It is important to be as careful as possible when using sleeping pills. After all, among them there are those, when taking which it is unacceptable to deviate from the dosage indicated in the annotation.

Cases of drugging a person for the purpose of robbery are quite common. For this purpose, clonidine is used, which is also mixed into alcoholic drinks. But after such a mixture a person feels very unwell, so it is not recommended to use it to put a drunk to sleep.

Alcohol and medications can have unpredictable effects. Alcohol may, within an hour, affect the effect of the drug, causing respiratory arrest, which can even be fatal.

An effective method to quickly put a person to sleep is hypnosis. People who master hypnosis are able to influence others, induce them to perform certain actions (including putting them to sleep) and even thoughts, as well as engage in self-hypnosis.

Hypnosis is mentioned in many religious books and is closely connected with the history of human development. The exact period of occurrence of hypnosis is impossible to determine.

It is likely that it began to develop back in the era of primitive people, when rites and ritual actions played a very important role in the life of tribes, where shamans were their heads.

Today you can learn how to instantly put a person to sleep using hypnosis. as it has become incredibly popular and widespread.

Moreover, it can be used both for good purposes and to subjugate the will and mind of the masses of people. Thus, with the help of hypnosis, you can safely heal the possessed and possessed, including influencing a person who is heavily intoxicated.

Hypnotic sleep is one of the types of sleep that can be caused by a hypnotist, while maintaining full contact with the person-object of influence. That is why the effect on human consciousness is quite strong.

A master who has the ability to hypnotize knows exactly how to put a person to sleep for an hour. Hypnosis can also be used to calm a person who is in psycho-emotional agitation. Most often, such emotions serve as a signal that opportunities may not coincide with needs.

Medicines to influence human consciousness

Despite the fact that today a large number of drugs are known that can put a person to sleep instantly, they should only be used by qualified specialists in special dosages. If dosages are not observed, the effect can be fatal.

One of these potent drugs is chloroform, which in its narcotic effect is 3-4 times stronger than ether and just as much more toxic. This drug is a colorless liquid with a pleasant odor. Its vapors do not irritate the respiratory tract, but the liquid is irritating to mucous membranes and skin.

When a person is euthanized with chloroform, severe salivation is observed. Induction of anesthesia occurs quite quickly and with virtually no stimulation. At this moment, good muscle relaxation and pain relief occurs.

Even though you may know how to put a person to sleep with medical chloroform, the consequences of its use may be completely unpredictable.

Thus, chloroform depresses respiration and the cardiovascular system, which makes the drug very dangerous. It has a toxic effect on the liver, and with prolonged use, the kidneys are also damaged.

How can you put a drunk person to sleep?

When intoxicated, a person is often aggressive, causing anxiety to loved ones and others. A drunk person easily loses control of himself, not being aware of his actions, and sometimes this leads to very disastrous consequences. Many people are familiar with situations when a person who has had too much alcohol suddenly becomes violent and almost insane, causing scandals, preventing his family or neighbors from sleeping. It is for solving such situations that it will be useful to learn how to put a drunk person to sleep.

Most people faced with a similar problem believe that a sleeping pill, added to alcohol or food, can calm a drunk person without much harm to his health.

They sincerely believe that some pills and alcohol are compatible, but this is not entirely true.

The interaction of alcohol with medications produces unpredictable effects. Alcohol can change the effect of the drug, and the drug itself can affect the degree of intoxication of a person. With the simultaneous use of barbiturates and alcohol, apnea (stopping breathing) can occur, which, in turn, can be fatal.

In the case of combined use of alcohol and antidepressants (amitriptyline (tryptisol), imizin (melipramine)), there is a danger of increased blood pressure and there is a real threat of developing a hypertensive crisis.

The simultaneous use of drugs such as phenazepam, haloperidol, sonapax and alcohol sharply increases the effect of drugs on the central nervous system, which can cause psychosis, loss of personal orientation, and in severe cases, depression of the cardiovascular system and breathing.

Considering the possible serious consequences that can occur in the case of a combination of alcohol and sleeping pills, it is better to refuse the opportunity to put a drunk person to sleep with the help of medications.

Narcologists and psychiatrists rightly believe that there are no means that can pacify a drunk. If you become the object of drunken aggression, it is more correct to think not about ways and means that can calm and stop the drunk, but to take care not to become the object of his aggression. Here are the main tips from experts:

if you are unable to stop and calm a drunken, violent person, the best thing is to try to stay away from him;
there is no need to provoke a drunk person by pouring out or taking away vodka, or making scandals: in a state of alcoholic intoxication, your words will be useless, a brain intoxicated by alcohol cannot correctly perceive information;
try to be as calm as possible, trying to “infect” a drunken rowdy with your calmness: you don’t need to respond to insults, you should talk quietly and calmly, pretending that nothing is happening.

The safest way to bring a drunk person into an adequate state is to sober him up as soon as possible. Although it is quite difficult to do this quickly at home. In a short period of time, it is possible to remove alcohol from the blood only in a clinical setting, using special efferent (forcibly removing foreign substances from the body) methods.

Currently, the services of medical institutions for withdrawal from binge drinking at home are quite common. Qualified specialists, using infusion therapy, are able to return even a very drunk person to a sober state in a fairly short period of time.

However, there are also ways to revive a drunk person without the help of specialists, at home:

Dilute 20 drops of peppermint tincture in a glass of water and give to a drunk person to drink;
5 drops of ammonia per glass of water;
taking enterosorbents (for example, activated carbon, at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of weight).

The most effective way to speed up the removal of alcohol from the blood and bring a person to his senses is to provoke vomiting. Vomiting can be induced with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. To do this, several crystals of potassium permanganate should be dissolved in warm water and the drunk should be given several glasses of this liquid to drink. A few minutes after taking it, a person will experience nausea, followed by vomiting.

After the stomach is cleansed, you can give him warm tea with milk and honey, a couple of aspirin tablets and put him to bed.

The most effective remedy for a hangover at home for each person is selected purely individually, taking into account the general condition of the body, the amount of alcohol consumed the day before, and the tolerance of certain remedies.

Many people are tormented in the morning by the question of how to deal with a hangover. Many people have had to deal with the symptoms of a hangover. These include nausea, which may be accompanied by vomiting, and elevated body temperature.

What can you add to alcohol to make a drunk person fall asleep? By drinking alcohol at home with a circle of friends, you can rest assured that in the morning all your things will be in place and even heavy drinking will not bring trouble. However, when drinking in public places, when meeting strangers, you may encounter a situation where you have drunk a little, but memory lapses occur. The situation is slightly different when, after drinking alcohol, it is impossible to calm a person down and force him to go to sleep. In both the first and second cases, drugs are used that, when interacting with alcohol, induce sleep. Only the purposes for taking sleeping pills are different. However, a person most often voluntarily refuses to take drugs, and therefore such drugs can be added directly to alcohol or food.

What drugs cause sleep in a drunk person?

Drugs that induce sleep in a drunk person fall into several categories. It depends on the period of falling asleep and the expiration date. It is impossible to find potent drugs in the public domain; you need a doctor’s prescription or a person who has been prescribed such a medicine according to indications.

Here are some of these drugs:

The simplest: valerian extract, motherwort tincture. Attackers do not use this method because it takes a long time to fall asleep, and its effectiveness is questionable.
Potent sedatives and anticonvulsants. These include phenazepam, diazepam and their derivatives, as well as other drugs in this group. When using these products, the likelihood of falling asleep increases, but the speed of falling asleep is also average. You can buy this drug only with a doctor's prescription.
Drugs that are intended for psychiatric patients suffering from violent behavior due to their pathology. The specificity of such drugs is that the patient must be quickly reassured. However, such medications are given only by psychiatrists with an appropriate diagnosis and prescription. It only takes a few minutes for a person to fall asleep.
There are drugs that cause drowsiness as a side effect. These include clonidine, which is notorious as a drug used by thieves to intoxicate people. It refers to medications to combat hypertensive crises and high-grade hypertension. Currently, the pharmaceutical structure is trying in every way to replace this drug with another, since it is addictive. You can’t find this drug everywhere; it is produced in limited quantities, although a few decades ago it was found in every home. A prescription is required to purchase clonidine.

A drug such as diphenhydramine is used as an antihistamine, that is, it is intended to combat allergic reactions and reduce sensitization of the body. Even in a sober person it causes drowsiness, but in a drunk person it can give the opposite reaction: excitement, loss of orientation in space.

The effect of each of the above drugs on the human body is unpredictable. In each case, you may face consequences such as allergic reactions, coma or death.

Alcohol acts in the body in different ways and can enhance or weaken the effectiveness of medications.

The effect of various drugs on the body

Here are the effects of some drugs on the body, including when combined with alcohol.

Clonidine

If you add clonidine to alcohol, you can expect an acceleration of its absorption in the body, and the speed can be several times higher. The mechanism of pressure reduction is the dilation of blood vessels, which in itself can lead to loss of consciousness. Since alcohol also has a vasodilating effect in the first stage of action, vasodilation can occur instantly. In this case, the person will only remember the moments preceding the drink diluted with clonidine.

Accelerating the absorption of alcohol is one of the ways to treat alcoholism at the initial stage. However, a feature of this method is the need for precise dosage of the drug.

The effect of clonidine may be such that a person remains conscious, but loses the ability to control his actions. Thus, a person can become a participant in an accident, a target of sexual harassment, or a victim of a fall from a height. The human brain and memory are disabled, and it is almost impossible to control it.

The dosage of clonidine to achieve an effect depends on several factors: physique and fitness of the body, body weight and frequency of alcohol consumption.

Diphenhydramine

The effect is multifaceted, it has antiallergic, antiemetic, sedative, and hypnotic effects. From the point of view of euthanasia with alcohol, it can behave unpredictably. On the one hand, alcohol enhances inhibition processes in the central nervous system, on the other hand, it can cause excitement and adverse reactions in the form of insomnia, euphoria, impaired consciousness, nervousness and convulsions.

Phenazepam and other drugs from this group

The main action of phenazepam is intended to combat epilepsy, seizures, headaches, and dystonia. However, this is achieved by inhibiting the nervous system.

Phenazepam with alcohol increases not only the main but also the side effects of the drug.

Since it is a potent drug, a person can get:

Stopping breathing;
Heartbeat;
Aspiration of vomit;
Loss of memory about what happened the day before;
Involuntary urination and defecation during sleep.

In addition, after regaining consciousness, a dose of medication can lead to hallucinations, memory loss, impaired consciousness, suicidal tendencies and the appearance of unconscious fear.

Drugs of this group are used as complex therapy for the treatment of alcohol dependence at the abstinence stage. However, long-term use causes dependence, so strict adherence to dosage is required.

Antidepressants

Based on the name of this group, one can understand that the medications are intended to eliminate depressive and anxiety states and suppress the consciousness of psychiatric patients.

When taking drugs of this group, behavior similar to alcohol intoxication may be observed: disturbances in speech and gait, slowing of movements, and lethargy. Alcohol, when taken additionally, enhances the effect of the medication and causes REM sleep. However, drinking alcohol during treatment with antidepressants is prohibited.

The drug has a wide range of side effects that occur without additional factors. So, you can get respiratory arrest, development of coma, disturbance and confusion, cardiac arrhythmias of various forms, pressure surges and others.

Combination with alcohol can lead to both falling asleep faster and negative reactions occurring more quickly. It depends both on the person himself and on the type and dose of alcohol, and the type of medication.

It is one thing if alcohol is taken during the course of drug treatment, and another thing if the intake is one-time in nature with the aim of achieving a hypnotic effect. Drinking alcohol during the course of treatment disrupts the entire healing process and neutralizes the entire effect achieved.

Since from the above information it follows that mixing sleeping pills into alcohol is very dangerous for health, there must be other methods of calming a person:

In order for a person to calm down, a drunk person must not be provoked into aggressive behavior. If he is already aggressive, then you need to try to stay away from him.
A good way is to try to persuade a person to rest, to lie down.
Sometimes the ignoring method works: the conversation is conducted in a calm voice, in lower tones. If a drunk is trying to tease, provoke, then you need to ignore such attempts.

Oddly enough, the best way to make a person fall asleep is to get him out of his state of alcoholic intoxication. To do this, you need to make him drink a glass of water in which 5 drops are mixed or take activated charcoal.

First attempts to euthanize a person

The very first attempts to completely euthanize a person were made in Egypt and Syria. A person was put to sleep by squeezing the vessels of the neck; this method was used during circumcision operations. A method of disabling a person by bloodletting was also tested, which caused anemia of the brain. Sometimes such attempts ended very tragically and it was no longer possible to wake a person after such manipulations... It is logical to assume that the discovery of anesthesia belongs to one surgeon, or maybe even a group of surgeons, because it was surgeons who most faced the problem of putting a person to sleep and turning off his consciousness during the operation. However, it is not.
