Toes vary wildly, accept hosts at bedtime (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stay over

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

'accept hosts at bedtime' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'toes vary wildly' is the wordplay.
'wildly' is an anagram indicator.
'toes'+'vary'='toesvary'
'toesvary' is an anagram of 'STAY OVER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for stay over that I've seen is " not to leave till morning?".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
