Me dormí durante toda la película.

English

I slept through the entire movie.

I’m confused by “me dormí”, as I take it to mean “I fell asleep”.

I’m not sure how to interpret your quote in this context. :wink:

To be clear, I had expected plain dormí or “quedé durmiendo”.

Apologies.

I realize that misread the RAE comment yesterday. It is off-topic indeed. Please ignore…

One should not post late, after a good dinner!

With a hopefully clearer mind this morning, I think that the grammatical explanation for the presence of the reflexive pronoun is simply the emphatic use:

Other examples would be:

  • Me dormí todo el dia.

  • Me dormí una señora siesta.
