Sack drill is US military slang for sleep — with 'sack' being military slang for bed or bunk, and 'drill' used ironically to describe the 'practice' of lying in it. The term is humorous and self-aware, poking fun at military culture's tendency to frame everything as training or practice. It is used informally among soldiers and veterans and captures the gallows-humour register common in military speech. Also seen as 'hitting the sack drill' or simply 'drilling on the sack'.
(US, derogatory) A silly, pointless exercise.
