The Dubner Magid, has a mashel for shabbos and yom tov. Where a person recognized a shnorer from his home town. So he questioned him, how is this person and how is that person. He told him, you are wasting my time. So he tells the shnorer, you know what, I will pay what you could make tomorrow and you can spend time with me. So he asked him about the alterheim, homeland. but he was so tired from the rest of the week that he asked for a bed to lie down. So he told him, I pay you for the day and you want to sleep? Hashem pays what we can make on shabbos and yom tov, so he expects that we spend some time with him and not completely sleep away the day.
In Shulchan Aruch O’CH 290,2 distinguishes a Jew learning the whole week who can spend time sleeping and the one who works the whole week.
