“Rack time” có rack là giá đỡ, giá gác -> cụm từ này nghĩa là thời gian người lính ngủ hoặc hồi phục trên giường (tàu thủy, xe lửa).

Ví dụ
"We were on a mission (sứ mệnh) every single day because of our specialization," Drinkwalter said. "We would get two or three hours of rack time and then we were sent on another operation. There was no down time. We were constantly under fire. Every single mission we were taking fire and engaging with the enemy (kẻ thù)."

“I don’t necessarily know that I buy into the premise (giả thuyết, tiền đề) that we need to coddle (nâng niu, chiều chuộng) the older kids, let them sleep in a little bit, get rack time, when the world is in front of them pretty quick and they will need to get up really early. I think there are a lot of questions here,” parent Sean Sullivan said.

Deer camp sleeping accommodations can run the gamut (toàn bộ, cả loạt) from cushy beds, to cots (võng) and multi-level flimsy bunks (giường ngủ mỏng manh). Personal bed rolls and sleeping bags are the norm, but no matter what the camp set up, most hunters sleep like the proverbial dead when the sun sets and the lights go out. Dawn-to-dusk (từ lúc bình minh đến chạng vạng/chiều tối) hunting, with woods work, endless camp chores, cooking, dishes, cleaning game and a whole lot more make “rack time” easy, and fast, as 4 a.m. comes early in deer camp.
