Is inactive in retirement? (6)
I believe this is a double definition.
'is inactive' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in retirement?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for sleepy that I've seen before include "Quiet" , "in retirement?" , "Feeling like having a snooze" , "over-tired" , "Ready for bed" .)
'is' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I don't see how they can define each other.
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
