"i just woke up." vs "i woke up just now."

It sounds better to say "I just woke up"; it is redundant to say that you did this now.

Last Updated: December 10, 2017

i just woke up.

This is correct

You can use this phrase to explain that you were sleeping until a moment ago.

Some examples from our editors:

  • I just woke up, so if I seem groggy, that's why.
  • I just woke up from a nap.
  • No, I hadn't planned on sleeping in today, but I must have been really tired. So I just woke up.

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • I woke up a moment ago

i woke up just now.

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

You don't need to use the word "now" in this sentence.
