Quick death is fine. I just wanted to put up a realistic scenario which is very gentle and minimally scary.

It is more plausible to be able to struck death in a deep sleep without your noticing. If I say, you get struck by a lighting, then your first reaction would have been: "OUCH!".

But if you get sedated by some strong drug then it's sounds much more plausible to be a painless "experience".
