Was worth making me tired (7)
I believe the answer is:
merited
'was worth making me tired' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'making me tired' is the wordplay.
'making' is an anagram indicator.
'me'+'tired'='metired'
'metired' anagrammed gives 'MERITED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for merited that I've seen before include "Properly earned or deserved" , "appropriate" , "Was worthy" , "Deresved" .)
