I believe the answer is:

siesta

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

'snooze after lunch' is the definition.
'siesta' can be an answer for 'snooze' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'after lunch' bit.

'seat is put out' is the wordplay.
'put out' indicates anagramming the letters.
'seat'+'is'='seatis'
'seatis' anagrammed gives 'SIESTA'.

'for a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for siesta that I've seen before include "Afternoon rest" , "rest of the Spaniards" , "Early afternoon nap" , "Daytime nap" , "Forty winks" .)
