Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- English (US)
- Filipino
Just the "position"
Lie awake: you are lying down and not sleeping
Take for example N'Sync's song:
"I lie awake, I drive myself crazy thinking of you."
Awake: You are not asleep with no particular position. You may be standing, sitting etc.
"I am awake."
