wakes up
Opens eyes, stretches
Wakes up is the moment of transitioning from sleep to consciousness.
The phrase covers both the instant of becoming aware and the process of becoming fully alert: She wakes up at six every morning, I always wake up groggy.
Figuratively, to wake up to something is to become aware of it: He finally woke up to the danger.
