Bright and bouncy? Not yours truly in the morning! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agleam

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

'bright' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'bouncy? not yours truly in the morning' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'morning' could be 'am' (as in 12:00 AM) and 'am' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for agleam that I've seen before include "Shining brightly" , "Bright" , "scintillating" , "Sparkling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
