getting up
Leaving the bed
Getting up is rising from a lying or sitting position, especially from bed.
The phrase covers the full transition from sleep to wakefulness: What time do you usually get up?
It extends to any act of standing: He had trouble getting up from the low chair.
Getting up can also mean assembling or preparing: getting up a petition, getting up the nerve to ask.
