wakefully
In aware state
Wakefully means in a wakeful manner—without sleeping, or in a state of alert awareness.
The word appears mostly in literary contexts: She lay wakefully through the night, listening to every creak of the house.
It can also suggest vigilant attentiveness: The dog watched wakefully from the porch.
