Disturbed when asleep, appeals for a share of the bed (6)
I believe the answer is:
please
'share of the bed' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'disturbed when asleep appeals' is the wordplay.
'asleep' anagrams to 'PLEASE'.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
'for a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for please that I've seen before include "(Word used in) asking or accepting politely" , "Give satisfaction to" , "Polite request - make someone happy" , "Delight, gladden" , "Asleep (anag)" .)
