Exegesis
The idiomatic phrase u-shnato nihyetah alav {וּשְׁנָת֖וֹ נִהְיְתָ֥ה עָלָֽיו | û-šə-nā-ṯō nih-yə-ṯāh ʿā-lāw} literally “his sleep was upon him” conveys the onset of sleeplessness. English renders maintain Hebrew emphasis by repeating Nebuchadnezzar in the formal, while the dynamic merges to streamline.
In context — Daniel 2:1
And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him.
