But the dictionary defines "co'i" as "point event".

In my view, if i mo'u sipna, i finish sleeping, not including the
aftermath state. No confusion there. The problem is the other one. If
i co'i sipna, i achieve the state of sleeping. What does that mean?
Let's say i sleep from 0:00AM to 7:00AM. The whole 7 hours represent
the state of sleeping. Do i achieve it at 0AM or 7AM or throughout
0-7AM or after the ending point 7AM (i.e. the beginning of ba'o as a
point)?
