Get out of bed and remember what's best forgotten? (6,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dredge up

This clue is a double definition.

'get out of bed' is the first definition.
(eg dredge up from a river bed)

'remember what's best forgotten?' is the second definition.
(as in dredging up bad memories)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dredge up that I've seen before include "Bring (something unwelcome) to the attention" , "Bring (something best forgotten) to light" , "Reluctantly recall" , "Bring (something unwelcome) to light" , "raise from bed?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
