Is this correct, 'I found him woken up'?
The context goes like this: I went shopping and passed a man who lied on the grass sleeping. When I went back, he woke up. So can I say 'When I went back, I found him woken up'?
Thank you!

Instead of 'I found him woken up,' I would say:
"When I found him, he had woken up."

"I found him woken up" suggests that someone else had woken the man up. I think Kimmy's suggestions are much more suitable for your situation.
