He slept terribly, interrupted by one's calls (10)
I believe the answer is:
telephones
'calls' is the definition.
('telephone' can be a synonym of 'call')
'he slept terribly interrupted by one's' is the wordplay.
'terribly' is an anagram indicator.
'interrupted by' indicates putting letters inside.
'he'+'slept'='heslept'
'heslept' with letters rearranged gives 'telephs'.
'telephs' going around 'one' is 'TELEPHONES'.
(Another definition for telephones that I've seen is " Calls".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
