How to use wakefulness in a sentence?

1. Mickey Mehta:

   Philosophize means ‘feel-loss-of-eyes’ because with open eyes you see only illusions and when you shut them and internalize, you understand the truth, the whole picture and the philosophy of all. Withdraw all your senses and internalize, let there be inner wakefulness, and MickeyMize.

2. Debasish Mridha, M.D.:

   Write about the dream you see during wakefulness.

3. William Ja:

   If that’s true in humans too, that means there are potentially different targets for us to go after in the future with dietary or drug interventions to help with sleepiness or wakefulness.
