'went back to bed' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'once more weary' is the wordplay.
'once more' becomes 're' (prefix in words like 're-emerge' or 're-enter').
'weary' becomes 'tired' (similar in meaning).
're'+'tired'='RETIRED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for retired that I've seen before include "Gone to bed" , "out of office?" , "Pensioned off" , "Withdrew from active participation" , "Went to bed or gave up work" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
