slept

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

'rested' is the definition.
(sleeping is a kind of resting)

'a collection of pelts' is the wordplay.
'pelts' can be anagrammed to 'SLEPT'.
But, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'on' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
