Yes, but. Woken, as the past participle of wake, is chiefly British. Not exactly sub-standard in America, but unusual.

As a medical transcriptionist of some 30 years, I have always changed the dictator's (usually a doctor) verbiage. Example:

Dictator: The patient was woken up from general anesthesia.

Typed: The patient was awakened from general anesthesia.

Never had a report been returned to me as incorrect because of this change.

No. "You woke up" is correct.The past tense of the verb "to wake" is woke, and some conjugations may also use the past tense of the verb "to awake" which is awoke.Examples:I awoke to discover my blankets in a pile on the floor.You were tardy because you woke up late.He awoke the following morning with no memory of what had happened.


Which is correct grammar 'he was awakened' or 'he was woken up'?

My best guess... He was awakened. It's not a case of either/or. They are both correct, as they are the past participles of two different verbs: 'to awaken' and 'to wake up'. You could also say: 'He was awoken' (past participle of 'to awake'); 'He was woken' (past participle of 'to wake' - without the 'up'); 'He was wakened (past participle of 'to waken'); 'He was wakened up' (past participle of 'to waken up'). None of them is incorrect grammar. They convey subtle distinctions of meaning, and which of them you use depends on context, preference, degree of formality required, and other criteria.

What is the correct use of woken?

Awoken most certainly is a word; it comes from the old English verb "awake" and it means woken up, or made awake. The correct usage is anywhere that it could be replaced by "woken up". 'awoken' is the passive voice form of 'awoke' (past tense of the verb 'awake'). for instance, you can say "I awoke to the sound of dogs barking" or "I was awoken by the sound of dogs barking". in modern US English, awoken is a bit archaic - normally we'd say 'awakened' instead.
