Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Trevor Croft:

Memsleep is the number of usual household members per sleeping room. The code in SPSS is below:

*{Members per sleeping room}.
if (hhusual=0) hhusual=hhslept.
if (AH117>0) memsleep=trunc(hhusual/AH117).
if (AH117=0) memsleep=hhusual.
if (missing(AH117) or AH117>=99 or memsleep>=98) memsleep=99.
variable labels memsleep 'Number of members per sleeping room'.
value labels memsleep 0 'Less than 1 per room'.
formats memsleep (f2.0).
missing values memsleep (99).

AH117 is the number of rooms used for sleeping.
