I believe the answer is:

yawner

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

'one obviously tired' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'weary nightwatchman's last shifts' is the wordplay.
'last' indicates one should take the final letters.
'shifts' is an anagram indicator.
The final letter of 'nightwatchman' is 'n'.
'weary'+'n'='wearyn'
'wearyn' is an anagram of 'YAWNER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yawner that I've seen before include "Person giving oral evidence of boredom" , "he might well gape" .)
