1 awake: If you are not sleeping (or asleep), you are awake. Example: If you are reading this, you are probably AWAKE!
2 wide awake: 'Wide awake' is a common idiom that means completely or fully awake. Example: I was WIDE AWAKE at 7am because my neighbor was using an electric drill. In the conversation, the woman at the reception desk asks, 'does that mean that you're awake?'; to which Philip replies, 'Yes, I'm wide awake!' - to emphasize the fact that he is completely awake!
3 wake-up: As we have seen in previous questions, a 'wake-up' or 'wake-up call' is when someone (often hotel reception) purposefully wakes you up (stops you sleeping) at a specified time.
4 wake: 'To wake someone (up)' means to stop someone (who is asleep) from sleeping; literally 'to make them awake'. Note: 'to wake' and 'to awake' are similar terms, but in modern English, 'to wake (up)' is used a lot more. Example: 'I WOKE my friend UP at 7am' is a lot more natural than 'I AWOKE my friend at 7am'. As a general rule, 'to awake' is intransitive. However, although it is possible to say, 'he awoke at 10am', it is more common to say 'he woke up at 10am'.
5 wakey: 'Wakey wakey' is a popular expression used when waking someone up. We often add the 'rise and shine' after it. Apparently, this is a reference to the sun (which rises in the morning and shines!). I love the sun!
