Give drink to upper-class young woman returning to sleep here? (5,3)

I believe the answer is:

water bed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sleep here?' is the definition.
I know that 'sleep' relates to this answer. I also know that both the answer and definition are singular nouns

'give drink to upper-class young woman returning' is the wordplay.
'give' says to put letters next to each other.
'drink' becomes 'water' (I've seen this before**).
'to upper-class young woman' becomes 'deb' (short for debutante).
'returning' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'deb' written backwards gives 'bed'.
'water'+'bed' is 'WATER-BED'.

'to' is the link.
