Hello, teachers!
Are both verbs natural and common?

Thank you very much.

He has waked up already. is fine in American English.
Of all the verbs which have to do with waking (awake, awaken, wake, waken), only "wake" can be used with "up", so the use of "wakened up" is not a good idea.

In British English we would not say 'waked up'. We would say 'woken up' in these contexts.
He has just woken up.
However, we would say 'Wake me up at 6 am'.
