day bed

'sleeper?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'provision for light' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'light' could be 'day' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'day' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bed' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for day bed that I've seen before include "Kind of couch or sofa" , "Kind of couch or 1 dn" , "Hospital berth for short stay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
