I believe the answer is:

terminated

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

'finished somehow' is the definition.
'terminated' can be an answer for 'finished' ('terminate' can be a synonym of 'finish'). I'm not sure about the 'somehow' bit.

'unusually tired meant' is the wordplay.
'unusually' indicates an anagram.
'tired'+'meant'='tiredmeant'
'tiredmeant' is an anagram of 'TERMINATED'.

'to get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for terminated that I've seen before include "reached the end of the line" , "Ended" , "Finished" , "Brought to an end" , "done something with extreme prejudice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
