Crossword Genius

Please move out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asleep

'out' is the definition.
(out can mean unconscious or asleep)

'please move' is the wordplay.
'move' indicates an anagram.
'please' anagrammed gives 'ASLEEP'.

(Other definitions for asleep that I've seen before include "like a kipper" , "In the arms fo Morpheus" , "See, pal strangely is not awake" , "in bed?" , "Dead to the world" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
