Snapped, having little sleep (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nap

'little sleep' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'snapped having' is the wordplay.
'having' indicates a hidden word.
'NAP' is hidden within 'snapped'.

(Other definitions for nap that I've seen before include "raised bits of velvet" , "Card game - quick sleep" , "A brief snooze" , "One likely to win" , "Sleep - card game - fibres on a snooker table" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
