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

'raising nap' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'get in as out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'get'+'in'+'as'='getinas'
'getinas' is an anagram of 'TEASING'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for teasing that I've seen before include "Vexing playfully" , "Combing wool and irritating playfully" , "Making fun of (someone)" , "Ribbing" , "Playfully ragging" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
