At 97:55:07, LMP talks briefly to Houston about taking decongestants.  At the planned wake-up time, Houston plays "Reveille".  When the CapCom tells them to "Today's the big day; hit the deck", the CDR says, "We've been there for a while."

LM calls Houston.  They've been up quite a while so that Al Bean could re-lace Pete Conrad's boots to give him some extra leg length and eliminate the pain he's been experiencing because the suit was too short and digging into his shoulders. [5 hours seems a generous overestimate add a link to the ALSJ ]  Pete is eager to get out.

The crew was still "cleaning up" at 152:04, after transferring dirty astronauts, rock boxes, etc to orbit.  Houston makes the wake-up call, but the crew was already awake
