Awake vs Awoke?

Yawn! I was having a fantastic dream eating some nice cream puffs until my alarm clock rang. I awoke and couldn’t sleep again after that.
What? “Awoke” is a strange word to use? Now this is waking me up. It is not wrong to use “awoke” here at all! Of course, I could have said “I woke up” which is more commonly used instead of “I awoke”. However, it is not wrong to use “I awoke” too. In fact, I can use “I awakened” as well! Getting confused? Let me clear up the confusion for you now!
