 You're making a clever play on words!

The phrase "it takes guts" typically means it requires courage or bravery to do something, but in your statement, you've also added the idea of waking up (as in, literally getting out of bed) and the concept of sheep walking (a playful way of saying "walking around like a zombie" or being lethargic).

So, I'd say your sentence is a creative and humorous way to acknowledge that it can be tough to shake off sleepiness and get moving, but also implies that having courage (or "guts") might help motivate you to do just that! Well done!

Would you like me to clarify anything or provide further assistance?
