Awake Is the New Sleep is the fifth album by Australian musician Ben Lee, released in 2005.

The song "We're All in This Together" was used on several television advertisements in Australia and New Zealand, including Coca-Cola and The Salvation Army Community Services.

[5] In October 2010, Awake Is the New Sleep was listed in the book, 100 Best Australian Albums.

It was here that he met Sakthi Narayani Amma, who inspired him spiritually and told him he would succeed if he put the message of joy into his music.

Having experienced criticism for his light heartedness in the past, Lee felt a renewed need to incorporate joy and happiness into his music.
