Pushes off sheets (6)
I believe the answer is:
leaves
This clue could be a double definition.
'pushes' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'sheets' is the second definition.
(I know that leaves is a leaf)
'off' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leaves that I've seen before include "Departs or bequeaths" , "''All the ... are brown'' (California Dreamin')" , "Doesn't eat" , "Departs from the sheets" , "Pulls out < sheets" .)
