to wake up

Question

I used the verb s'éveiller for "wake up", but it was not given as one of the alternatives.  I thought "se lever" meant "to get up (out of bed)", rather than specifically to wake up.  Can you clarify?

Accepted Answer

Just to let you know that this has been flagged up and it should be 'se réveiller' for 'to wake up'.
Interesting use of 's'éveiller' here, Helena, but unsuitable because - 
's'éveiller' is used more abstractly to describe a realization or becoming aware, while 'se réveiller' is used to talk about physically waking up from sleep.
Hope this helps!
