Sleep after lunch, beginning to snore, before tea is prepared (6)
I believe the answer is:
siesta
'sleep after lunch' is the definition.
'siesta' can be an answer for 'sleep' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'after lunch' bit.
'beginning to snore before tea is prepared' is the wordplay.
'beginning to' says to take the initial letters.
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'prepared' indicates an anagram.
The initial letter of 'snore' is 's'.
'tea'+'is'='teais'
'teais' anagrammed gives 'iesta'.
's'+'iesta'='SIESTA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for siesta that I've seen before include "Rest of Spain" , "PM snoozing?" , "A mid-day nap in Spain" , "Spanish afternoon activity" , "Seat is found for a Spanish rest period" .)
