wide awake
Not at all drowsy
Wide awake means fully awake, not drowsy or sleepy at all: I drank coffee at dinner and was wide awake until 2 a.m.
The phrase extends to mental alertness—being sharp, aware, and missing nothing: You'll have to be wide awake to catch his mistakes.
A wide-awake person is keenly attentive to opportunities or dangers.
