The concept of a sleeping gas remains something of a Hollywood fantasy anyway. The nearest we've got are anaesthetic gases, but they have to be very carefully administered or you risk killing people - and it's very difficult, if not impossible, to control the dose that passengers would receive over a large enclosed space like an aircraft cabin.
