I believe the answer is:

blonde

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

'light' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'left on get into the unmade bed' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'get into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the unmade' indicates an anagram (the original order is unmade or damaged).
'l'+'on'='lon'
'bed' is an anagram of 'bde'.
'lon' placed inside 'bde' is 'BLONDE'.
