I believe the answer is:

hen

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

'she has sittings' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'during the night' is the wordplay.
'during' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HEN' can be found hidden inside 'the night'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hen that I've seen before include "Female bird" , "Source of eggs" , "Farm bird" , "Laying bird" , "Domestic egg layer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
