I believe the answer is:

uproar

'riot' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'getting out of bed with a bellow' is the wordplay.
'getting out of bed' becomes 'up' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a bellow' becomes 'roar' (synonyms).
'up'+'roar'='UPROAR'

'causes a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
