Bonjour Adrian !

I see your point. Here the "literally" was meant to address the structure of the sentence, not the colloquial expression, but I understand it could be confusing, especially at A2 level.
I've therefore updated the hint to: "To do a nap...".

I hope that's helpful!
Merci et bonne journée !
