"Wake up", on the other hand, means to stop sleeping and open your eyes. It also means to lose that sleepy, foggy feeling you get right after you awaken. If you go to work and somebody says "I'm still waking up", it means they're still feeling sleepy and probably need a cup of coffee. Metaphorically, a computer can "wake up", but a computer can't "get up" because it doesn't have a bed to get up out of.
