Taking a rest like a chap with a dizzy head (4)
I believe the answer is:
abed
'taking a rest' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'chap with a dizzy head' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'abe' ().
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'head' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'dizzy' is 'd'.
'abe'+'d'='ABED'
'like a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abed that I've seen before include "in his hammock awaiting Santa?" , "going to sleep?" , "dream location?" , "sleeping? Apparently" , "Tucked up for the night" .)
