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

'one does in a sauna' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'you and i have sat around' is the wordplay.
'you and i have' becomes 'we' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'we' inserted into 'sat' is 'SWEAT'.

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sweat that I've seen before include "Salty fluid secreted by glands" , "Waste (anag.)" , "Male perspiration?" , "Soldier" , "Perspire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
