Do you really use the word "sedation" in this context to indicate the
action of settling down ? I may be biased by the fact we in Italian
would use the word "insediamento" which would indicate both the action
of settling down, and a settlement as a place.

No. As someone mother-tongue English who also speaks Italian, I can
assure you that sedation only means medically drugged.
