A deep sleep

Daniel 10:9 - Then I heard him speaking, and as I listened to him, I fell into a deep sleep, my face to the ground.

I think there are several instances in the Bible similar to this where humans fall asleep during a time when you'd think they'd want to be wide awake -- like during the chase or the fight scene of a sci-fi flick -- so as not to miss anything important. I wonder if that's the body's natural reaction to something as intense as this. Or maybe God actively brought about the sleep to protect the sleeper physically and/or emotionally and/or some other way-ally.
