Answer:

It was such a surprise, it could be compared to being hit suddenly

Step-by-step explanation:

She is sleeping soundly and gets woken up as if it had been a blow, it was so sudden that it scared her. Compare it to your friend hitting you, it comes as a surprise and brings you to your senses quickly. She was awaked "violently" from her sleep by something most likely loud and scary.
