Yes, "waking up" does imply a cessation of sleep, a coming to of consciousness in one's own bed (preferably) but I believe there are other meanings to be applied to the word "waking."
For instance, do we have to be asleep to wake up? Are we not frequently told to "wake up" to see what is around us of which we are unaware? In this case, could waking up be opening your eyes to a new world, seeing things in a different way and finding yourself in a different time? (morning, noon, night, or in the case of those who have been in a coma, perhaps years.)
I believe it could.
