I believe the answer is:

arousal

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">awakening</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for arousal that I've seen before include "Act of waking (someone)" , "Drinking spree" , "Sexual excitement" , "Awakening (of emotion, etc)" , "Awakening; stimulation" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Newsday and the Sydney Morning Herald.
