the dramatic resurrection you perform daily, badly, against your own will
means The act of stopping sleep and becoming conscious, or the alarm or moment that forces it to happen.
from A straightforward squashing-together of the verb phrase "to wake up," where "wake" descends from Old English "wacian," meaning to be or remain awake, a relative of "watch" and "vigil." The little particle "up" tags along to signal the rising-into-alertness, and over time the two words fused into a single noun — as in a "wakeup call," the hotel telephone's cruelest service.
