Sleep with looker after bar (4-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shut-eye

'sleep' is the definition.
(I know that shut-eye is a type of sleep)

'looker after bar' is the wordplay.
'looker' becomes 'eye' (I've seen this in another clue).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bar' becomes 'shut' (I've seen this in another clue).
'eye' after 'shut' is 'SHUT-EYE'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Another definition for shut-eye that I've seen is " Sleep".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
