Roaming at night, numb Somalis staggered miles (12)
I believe the answer is:
somnambulism
'roaming at night' is the definition.
(somnambulism is sleepwalking)
'numb somalis staggered miles' is the wordplay.
'staggered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'miles' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'numb'+'somalis'='numbsomalis'
'numbsomalis' is an anagram of 'somnambulis'.
'somnambulis'+'m'='SOMNAMBULISM'
(Another definition for somnambulism that I've seen is " Sleepwalking".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
