I believe the answer is:

cogent

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'convincing' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'information digested in bed' is the wordplay.
'information' becomes 'gen' (gen can informally mean information).
'digested' indicates putting letters inside.
'in bed' becomes 'cot' (cot is a type of bed. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'gen' going into 'cot' is 'COGENT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cogent that I've seen before include "Forceful and convincing" , "'Clear and logical, argument say (6)'" , "'Powerfully persuasive, argument say (6)'" , "Well-reasoned" , "Clear, logical and convincing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
