I believe the answer is:

retiring

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'stopping work' is the first definition.
'retiring' can be an answer for 'stopping' (retiring is a kind of stopping). I'm not certain of the 'work' bit.

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

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for retiring that I've seen before include "Stopping work permanently" , "Shy, avoiding company" , "Quiet" , "stepping back" , "Shy; stopping work" .)
