Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἀνανήφω: (`in good authors apparently confined to the present’; 1 aorist ἀνενηψα); to return to soberness (ἐκ μέθης, which is added by Greek writers); metaphorically: 2Ti 2:26 ἐκ τῆς τοῦ διαβόλου παγίδος (Winers Grammar, § 66, 2 d.) to be set free from the snare of the devil and to return to a sound mind (`one’s sober senses’). (Philo, legg. alleg. ii. § 16 ἀνανηφει, τουτ’ ἐστι μετανόει; add Josephus, Antiquities 6, 11, 10; Cebes () tab. 9; Antoninus 6, 31; Chariton 5, 1.) (See ἀγρυπνέω, at the end.)
