Take a rest, possibly being idle now (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lie down

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'take a rest' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'being idle now' is the wordplay.
'idle now' anagrams to 'LIE DOWN'.
Though, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'possibly' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lie down that I've seen before include "Recline" , "Take rest; be submissive (under)" , "Enid Low (anag.)" , "Short rest on a bed" , "Assume a reclining position" .)
