The Duration of Wiping Over the Khuffain

Question
How do we explain that the duration of wiping is one day and one night, and if a person sleeps, can they wipe over the khuffain during ablution when they wake up?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The resident wipes for a day and a night "24" hours, starting to count the duration of wiping from the time of the event. The sleeper, when he wakes up, can wipe over the socks if he wore them in a state of purity and this was during the duration of wiping. And God knows best.
