'time to wake up showing embarrassment in pyjama bottoms?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'time to wake up showing embarrassment' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'to wake up' becomes 'rouse' (rouse can mean to wake up).
'showing embarrassment' becomes 'red' (someone may blush or go red when embarrassed).
't'+'rouse'+'red'='TROUSERED'
