With this construction, you have two options:
1) It lasted + until (moment in time): It lasted until morning. It lasted until 2:00 PM. It lasted until the 31st.
2) It lasted + (duration of time): It lasted all night. It lasted 3 hours. It lasted only a few seconds.

Like Sabrina said The Sleep mentioned here was supposed to be an afternoon Nap which became eventually a Sleep.

Totally right, Annie, a nap is supposed to be short... But I have gone for a "nap" that has lasted until morning... usually after a few (too many) drinks or a (very) hard day :-D :-D

Thank you Annie.

Hello, I agree with Sabrina, however, for me a nap is a short sleep which people usually have in the late morning or early afternoon, so I wouldn't say this sentence.
Also, I would say I had a nap, but that may be as I am British not American.
Best wishes,
Annie
