Goes out for the night? (6)
I believe the answer is:
sleeps
'goes' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to time as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sleeps that I've seen before include "Catches some Z's" , "Slumbers" , "Takes a siesta" , "Dozes" , "Rests in the arms of Morpheus" .)
