This phrase is a combination of '잠' (jam), meaning 'sleep', and '깨다' (kkaeda), meaning 'to wake up' or 'to break'. '잠이 깨다' literally means 'sleep breaks' or 'sleep awakens', conveying the idea of emerging from a state of sleep. This construction is common in Korean where a noun + verb combination forms an idiomatic expression. The etymology of '잠' can be traced back to Middle Korean 'ᄌᆞᆷ' (cam), and '깨다' to Middle Korean '다' (kkyeyta). The phrase itself has been in common use for centuries, reflecting a natural way of expressing the cessation of sleep in the Korean language. The structure 'N + 이/가 깨다' is a productive pattern for indicating that a state or object 'N' has been broken or has awakened.
