Shy when going to bed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retiring

This clue is a double definition.

'shy' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'going to bed' is the second definition.
('retire' can be a synonym of 'go to bed')

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for retiring that I've seen before include "Timid" , "Leaving work - shy" , "Giving up work for good" , "Like an unassertive person" , "Shy and fond of being on one's own" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
