"Debí" is introducing the hypothesis about why he's just waking up when the last thing he remembers was to have been walking.

Cabe destacar que puede distinguirse entre "deber" y "deber de". Aunque se admiten ambas formas para hipótesis, con la preposición se anula cualquier ambigüedad:
Debí de haberme dormido andando. Un saludo cordial.

Okay, thanks, still a bit confused, I'll work on it.
If you can translate into an English sentence, that might be easier for me, but maybe there is no literal translation.

There is a close translation. Try a sentence starting by "I must have..."
