expergefaction

From the Oxford University Press's Erin's Weird and Wonderful Word of the Day:

expergefaction: waking up, from a Latin word meaning 'make awake.' Alarm clocks could be called expergefactors.

Jen shall now use this word in a sentence (will that "make it mine?"):

Expergefaction is not one of my stronger skills, and often requires coffee.
