Mythical character who makes people sleepy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sandman

(Other definitions for sandman that I've seen before include "Who could send you to sleep" , "sleep-inducing agent" , "Sender to sleep of children" , "Fairy who puts children to sleep" , "He comes to send children off" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
