'not relaxing' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'son flusters agitatedly' is the wordplay.
'son' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son).
'agitatedly' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'flusters' with letters rearranged gives 'tressful'.
's'+'tressful'='STRESSFUL'

(Other definitions for stressful that I've seen before include "tense" , "Very hard on the nerves" , "Worrying" , "under great pressure" , "Creating tension" .)
