    Good Morning Experts,

    As far as I know , its the cumulative value of the CPU and memory metrics from different T-SQL that ran and finished from the same session.

    No. Sleeping means doing nothing waiting for more work. Hence they take no CPU, and only the memory required for the connection itself.
