'had a nap in' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to bodily activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'shed one' is the wordplay.
'shed' becomes 'dropped' (synonyms).
'one' becomes 'off' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'dropped'+'off'='DROPPED OFF'
