arousable

Can be awakened

Arousable means capable of being aroused—wakened from sleep, stirred to action, or sexually stimulated.

The word appears most often in medical and psychological contexts: The patient was lethargic but arousable.

Someone easily arousable responds readily to stimulation; someone barely arousable requires significant effort to rouse.
