I believe the answer is:

oversleep

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

'out' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I don't see how they can define each other.

'night more so than usual it's what she does not having met handsome prince yet' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'more' could be 'over' (I've seen this before) and 'over' is present in the answer.
'she' could be 'lee' and 'lee' is found in the answer.
'prince' could be 'p' and 'p' is found within the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'at' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
