English term
Morocco
Meant
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/is meant to be#Translations
Does it describe the period when you try to close your eyes before you fall asleep.
as a synonym for 'Meant' I found: to be required or supposed; to have to.
but i'm still insisting 'intended'
Can you give another sentence with 'Meant' with the same context please?
Thank you

Non-PRO (3): philgoddard, ael, Barbara Carrara
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

She was meant to be asleep. Instead she joined in every time I laughed down the phone and kept going: "HIYA!" in the background. I would despair but she's such good fun.

Once Upon a Love Story
"A story, a story." Kahlan turned at the sound of her youngest daughter's voice, she was meant to be asleep an hour ago. The little one rubbed at her eyes as she repeated her request. "I want a story mama."

: "The child meant" is not the same as "the child is meant".

Yes, I should have mentioned that when used in the passive voice, it has a different meaning. Cheers, Phil!
