: ar insemna mai curand ca a adormit persoana, ca l-a coplesit somnul

Eu asa am interpretat contextul. Am tinut cont de faptul ca textul spune 'm-a cuprins somnul', nu 'm-a luat somnul'. In cazul acesta, raspunsul corect va fi ales in functie de ce s-a intamplat ulterior, a adormit sau a oprit sa poata dormi.

: "Took over me" this is clumsy grammatically, as the common expression to use is "overcame me".
