Everyone does, or almost everyone (there are probably a few rare folks who just pop awake and stay that way). Most people have awakening moments and then fall back into lower levels of awareness, and keep doing that until, slowly, the periods of awareness become longer and longer. It's very like maintaining awareness in a dreamstate (i.e., lucid dreaming). At first, you may not be able to maintain the awareness for long, but with time and practice, it just happens on its own.

I understand that one, too. There are exercises that will help remind you to keep focus on the present and be present. One I heard of is to imagine you're from some unspecified future, where they have a means of allowing you to go back in time and experience something (like, driving a car to the grocery store, or attending a university class, or eating lunch, or whatever you're about to do ). Approach whatever you're doing that way.
I don't do that all the time, but I do it sometimes, and not only is it fun, it definitely gets you in the habit of being really present and paying attention. Right now I'm experiencing early 21st century style internet communication. Can you believe it? They still use typed language! Wow! I'm also experiencing iced coffee. Yum.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
