I've been awaken since vs I awake for

These two phrases are not directly comparable as they have different structures and meanings. 'I've been awaken since' is incorrect because 'awaken' is not typically used in the past participle form in this context. 'I awake for' is also incorrect because 'awake' is a verb that is usually used intransitively, meaning it doesn't take a direct object like 'for.'
