I assume that the metaphor isn't about the getting up. If I say
someone is stubborn as a mule about always calling shotgun, it doesn't
imply that mules call shotgun. It's just the stubbornness that's being
compared to a mule, and the idea that the person is that stubborn about
calling shotgun. Similarly, phrase is talking about being as mighty as
a lion, and the idea that the person is that mighty about getting up in
the morning.<br>

Misgaber K’ari laamod baboker. I’m no zoologist, but I looked at a few
youtube videos, and if they are any indication, lions don’t wake up too
quickly. They roll, they yawn, they twitch, they look around, they stay
where they were for a bit. Does anyone have an explanation for this
comparison?<o:p></o:p></p>
