I invested around 3 minutes and 28 seconds in this one. I had a tough time deciphering some entries, but by solving the easier clues first, I managed to work through them. For instance, 8-Across (ARE) and 12-Across (STOOL) were a breeze, as was 1-Across (MAT). However, "Royal" sleeping options stumped me, but it's a no-brainer in hindsight. Perhaps I need a bit of rust-busting!
