Is there any idiom/phrase that convey this meaning: "someone or something caused me not to feel sleepy anymore at a specific moment or situation"?
Please read these scenarios:
-
Last night I was sound asleep when the telephone rang. I coudn't sleep again after that and lay awake until morning.
-
Suppose you have an exam tomorrow, and you haven't finished reviewing your book yet. Now you feel so sleepy that you decide to rinse/wash your face with cold water in order to remove (?) that sleepy feeling.
-
While you are going to your work by bus, you feel so drowsy that take a short nap, but a loud cry breaks (?) your nap, and you don't feel drowsy any more!
I have found these idioms and phrases by googling:
-
Somebody or something made me awake
-
I was wide awake
-
I washed the sleep out of my face
-
I couldn't get back to sleep
Actually, I'm looking for a single idiom, or phrase that can be used in all those situations I illustrated in my examples.
