Raised right, boring to sleep with (4)
I believe the answer is:
bred
'raised' is the definition.
(eg bred children)
'right boring to sleep with' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'boring' indicates putting letters inside (some letters must 'bore' a hole into other letters).
'to sleep with' becomes 'bed' ('bed' can be a synonym of 'sleep with').
'r' inserted inside 'bed' is 'BRED'.
(Other definitions for bred that I've seen before include "Bore" , "Propagated, raised" , "did produce issue" , "Engendered" , "Procreated" .)
