Delay with sheep jumping? One doesn’t need jumping sheep (10)

I believe the answer is:

sleepyhead

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one doesn't need jumping sheep' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'delay with sheep jumping?' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'jumping?' indicates an anagram.
'delay' put after 'sheep' is 'sheepdelay'.
'sheepdelay' anagrammed gives 'SLEEPYHEAD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sleepyhead that I've seen before include "Tired/inattentive person" , "Dozy type" , "Lazy or inattentive person" , "Lazybones" , "dozy kid?" .)
