At this point in time, our evidence shows that the most common inflections of awake are awoke in the simple past (”he awoke”) and awoken as the past participle (”she was awoken”). The most common inflections of awaken continue to be awakened in the past (”he awakened”) and awakened as the past participle (”she was awakened”). It helps if you remember that awaken and awake are different verbs, and that awakened is regular. Maybe just don’t think about it too hard when you first wake up. (From Miriam Webster website)
