Exegesis
Two participles describe his drowsiness: kataferomenos {καταφερόμενος | kataferómenos} (present) with hypnō bathei {ὕπνῳ βαθεῖ | húpnō batheî} “by deep sleep” portrays an ongoing process of being overcome, while katenektheis {κατενεχθεὶς | katenektheís} (aorist) later marks the decisive moment when sleep fully overtakes him.
In context — Acts 20:9
And a certain young man by the name of Eutychus was sitting in the window , being overcome by deep sleep as Paul was speaking at length. Having been overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead .
