Crossword Genius

Asleep when roused in delight (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

please

'delight' is the definition.
(I know that delight is a kind of delight)

'asleep when roused' is the wordplay.
'when roused' indicates anagramming the letters.
'asleep' anagrammed gives 'PLEASE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for please that I've seen before include "Asleep (anag)" , "Give satisfaction to" , "Make glad, being asleep" , "Give happiness" , "Satisfy or gratify" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Telegraph.
