Escape punishment and go to sleep (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

get off

I believe this is a double definition.

'escape punishment' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'go to sleep' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for get off that I've seen before include "Escape all punishment" , "shed" , "Start to sleep" , "Dismount from or begin a journey" , "Disembark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
