Take a midday snooze (3)

I believe the answer is:

nap

(Other definitions for nap that I've seen before include "Raised fibres on surface of cloth or leather" , "Short sleep on fuzzy fabric surface" , "Quick sleep; raised pile" , "Racing tip that professes to be a certainty" , "A short sleep or snooze" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
