Strips going back for snooze (5)
I believe the answer is:
sleep
'snooze' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'strips going back' is the wordplay.
'strips' becomes 'peels' (peeling is a kind of stripping).
'going back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'peels' backwards is 'SLEEP'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sleep that I've seen before include "Wayne _; former Royal Ballet principal dancer" , "Shut-eye" , "''... that knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care'' (Macbeth)" , "Produced (egg)" , "Drop off" .)
