I believe the answer is:

siesta

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

'forty winks' is the definition.
(siesta is a kind of forty winks)

'drowsiest adult grabs' is the wordplay.
'SIESTA' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?
