comment Barbell presses without a suitable power/squat rack?
The ratio of weight from clean to press was my first thought reading the question too - you should always be able to clean quite a bit more than you can press for multiple reps. Interesting, however, that someone starting Starting Strength would know how to clean!

comment Exercise for Upper chest
Whether you're focusing on strength or size, soreness is surely not the best indicator of progress (see fitness.stackexchange.com/a/815/22); instead use a progressive system of measurement.

comment Does afternoon napping help?
I think napping is relevant because of OP's constraint that he's not able to sleep more than 5-6 hours per night. Napping fills out the rest of the 8-10 hours that he presumably needs.

comment Does afternoon napping help?
Actually, my understanding is that sleep is very helpful because a lack thereof increases cortisol. No references handy, hence comment form, but I'm quite certain that with a bit of digging you'll find sleep is a critical part of fat loss.
