to be awake for me is to open a book (post, podcast, video) with an open well-rested mind. same goes for interaction with people in the real world - let the experience flow naturally, try not to create mental or physical barriers as long as nothing wrong appears to manifest. when a wrong starts manifesting, then only the awake mind can start correcting the wrong.
Do you mean like a present awareness, not dissociated or preoccupied?

i like that too. tired, noise-polluted mind reverts to all kinds of easy shortcuts. new neural connections take work to form, it's hard work.
