No longer like to fall asleep, as alarm may? (2,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

go off

I believe this is a triple definition!

'no longer like' is the first definition.
(to go off something is to stop liking it)

'to fall asleep' is the second definition.
(to go off is to fall asleep)

'as alarm may?' is the third definition.
(an alarm may 'go off' when it makes a noise)

(Other definitions for go off that I've seen before include "discharged" , "Turn" , "Explode" , "Rot; leave" , "Fire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
