Wake
noun C (informal/neologism)
1. The continuous period of consciousness experienced by an individual between awakening from one major episode of sleep and falling into the next.
Usage note: Often functions as a subjective alternative to the 24-hour calendar day, particularly when an individual's sleep schedule is irregular, nocturnal, or spans multiple calendar dates.
Etymology: Derived from the Old English wacan (to become awake), functioning as a noun conversion of the adjective awake, by analogy with the pairing of the verb/noun sleep.
