Tom hasn't been sleeping well lately. He figures he has been getting about 5 hours of sleep each weeknight and 6 hours each night on the weekend. If Tom would ideally like to get 8 hours of sleep each night on both weeknights and weekends, how many hours of sleep is Tom behind on from the last week?
How many hours of sleep does Tom ideally want to get in a week? ** Tom ideally wants to sleep 8 hours a night for 7 days, 8 x 7 = <<8*7=56>>56 hours sleep total for the week.
How many hours of sleep has Tom actually gotten in the last week? ** Tom has actually only slept 5 hours each weeknight, 5 x 5 = <<5*5=25>>25 hours of sleep.
How many hours of sleep has Tom actually gotten in the last week? ** Tom has only slept 6 hours each night on the weekend, 6 x 2 = <<6*2=12>>12 hours of sleep.
How many hours of sleep has Tom gotten in the last week? ** Total, Tom has gotten 25 + 12 hours = <<25+12=37>>37 hours sleep.
How many hours of sleep is Tom behind on from the last week? ** The difference between how many hours Tom would like to sleep, 56, and how many hours he's actually slept, 37, is 56 - 37 = <<56-37=19>>19 hours of sleep that Tom is behind on.
