Cultural Tip
In French culture, there is a distinction between 'se réveiller' (the act of opening your eyes/stopping sleep) and 'se lever' (the act of physically getting out of bed). French people often value their 'grasse matinée' (sleeping in) on weekends, so being someone who wakes up easily is often viewed as a practical advantage for work life.
