The sentence "I was awakened by my roommate at 6:00 a.m." is written in the passive voice because the subject ("I") is receiving the action ("was awakened") rather than performing it. The active voice equivalent would be "My roommate awakened me at 6:00 a.m." where the subject ("My roommate") is performing the action ("awakened").
