Gets up on time, not good getting rest (10)
I believe the answer is:
standstill
'rest' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'gets up on time not good' is the wordplay.
'gets up' becomes 'stands' (I've seen this before**).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'time' becomes 't'.
'not good' becomes 'ill' ('ill' is the opposite to 'good').
'stands'+'t'+'ill'='STANDSTILL'
'getting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for standstill that I've seen before include "Complete stop" , "Perhaps jam" , "Situation without movement or activity" , "complete halt" , "stoppage" .)
