'plot to disturb lenin? i'd have to sleep on that' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'plot to disturb lenin?' is the wordplay.
'plot' becomes 'bed' (bed is a kind of plot).
'to disturb' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'disturbed' mean this).
'lenin' is an anagram of 'linen'.
'bed'+'linen'='BED-LINEN'

Can you help me to learn more?
