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

'for those who want to retire but can't? as for the' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'rest some will be put out by this' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'rest' could be 'sleeping' (sleeping is a kind of rest) and 'sleeping' is present in the answer.
'will' could be 'll' and 'll' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pi' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
