Answer

Harry,

Average workday sleep refers to how long a person sleeps during a week day (Monday to Friday). In the United States, the average work week is Monday to Friday, 9am until 5pm. What your sentence means is that, during a work day, a person sleeps less than on a weekend. The time difference between the weekday sleep and the weekend sleep is your "sleep debt."

So.. on Wednesday night, I only sleep 5 hours. On Saturday night, I sleep 8 hours. So, 3 hours is my "sleep debt."

Does this help?
