Crossword Genius

Snapped, having to sleep (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nap

'sleep' is the definition.
(a nap is a short sleep)

'snapped having' is the wordplay.
'having' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'NAP' can be found hidden inside 'snapped'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nap that I've seen before include "Kip" , "One likely to win" , "A daytime doze" , "Raised fibres on surface of cloth or leather" , "Racing tip that professes to be a certainty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
