                        <div class="background">
                            <img src="<?php echo $srcurl; ?>/cover.png">
                        </div>
                        <a href="#!admin"><img class="circle" src="<?php echo $srcurl; ?>/logo.png"></a>

                    </div>
                </li>

                <li><a href="##"><center>MENU</center></a></li>
                <li><a class="waves-effect" href="index.php">Home</a></li>

                <li><a class="waves-effect" href="book.php">booking</a></li>
            </ul>

            <script>  $(".button-collapse").sideNav(); </script>
        </div>

    </nav>
</div>

1. Wrap your JS code for sideNav within documentReady event, and set parameter closeOnClick as true.

2. Bring your side menu (ul element with class"side-nav") at the same level of div with class navbar-fixed . This is to avoid known issues with overlay. See this stackoverflow question and accepted answer

$( document ).ready(function(){
$('.button-collapse').sideNav({
      closeOnClick: true
    }
  );
});
