To wake
I am confused about the past tenses of the verb 'to wake'.
I've found two variants of the past tenses. Do they mean the same?
waked/woke
waked/woken
And what of the following sounds better:
I've just woke up.
I've just woken up.
I've just waked up.
Thank you!

Where 'wake' means 'stop sleeping', in BrEng always use woke (simple past) and woken (past participle), I have just woken up, I woke my friend at 8am. AmEng is more tolerant of waked.
There are several forms of wake, some regular and some not. Present/past / past participle as follows:
wake/woke/woken
awake/awoke/awoken
waken/wakened/wakened
awaken/awakened/awakened
People sometimes mix and match these in confusing ways, using the past of one and the present of another.

The language is evolving. Some irregular verbs are changing into -ed regular verbs.
In my lifetime, dive/dove, speed/sped, shine/shone have become regular. Wake/woke may also be evolving into a regular verb.

Hello again.
Come on Natasha.
Wake simple present.
Woke simple past.
Woken past participle.
So we have:
I wake up everyday at 7 am.
I woke up 3 am surprisingly last night.
I have woken up three times from last night up to now.
