Qualified teacher put out, being called up when they want to sleep? (7)
I believe the answer is:
bedtime
'to sleep?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'qualified teacher put out being' is the wordplay.
'qualified teacher' becomes 'BEd' (someone with a Bachelor of Education degree).
'put' says to put letters next to each other.
'out being' becomes 'time' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'bed'+'time'='BEDTIME'
'called up when they want' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bedtime that I've seen before include "The hour for retiring" , "When to turn in" , "Lights out" , "eleven o'clock?" , "when one's due for retirement?" .)
