Naughty experience in sick bed (3-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ill-behaved

'naughty' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'experience in sick bed' is the wordplay.
'experience' becomes 'have' (having is a kind of experiencing).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'sick' becomes 'ill' (similar in meaning).
'ill'+'bed'='illbed'
'have' going into 'illbed' is 'ILL-BEHAVED'.
