I believe the answer is:

switch off

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stop paying attention' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'with changeover on holiday' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'changeover' becomes 'switch' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'on holiday' becomes 'off' (I've seen this before).
'switch' next to 'off' is 'SWITCH OFF'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for switch off that I've seen before include "Lose concentration" , "Disconnect power" , "Stop paying attention" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
