Sleeping in bedroom with social worker (7)
I believe the answer is:
dormant
'sleeping' is the definition.
(I know that sleeping can be written as dormant)
'bedroom with social worker' is the wordplay.
'bedroom' becomes 'dorm' (I have seen 'Communal bedroom ' mean 'dorm' so perhaps 'bedroom' could also mean 'dorm').
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'social worker' becomes 'ant' (I've seen this in another clue).
'dorm'+'ant'='DORMANT'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for dormant that I've seen before include "Lethargic" , "Latent" , "Hibernating" , "Suspended" , "Inert" .)
