Its said to stun for a long time (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

days

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

'time' is the definition.
(day is a unit of time)

'its said to stun for a long' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'dys' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for days that I've seen before include "` `They are not long, the .... of wine and roses' ' (Dowson)" , "See 1 down" , "Units of time" , "Sevenths of a week" , "Periods (of week)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
