Can someone tell me when to use "叫醒 / jiào xǐng" versus "起床 / qi3 chuang2"?

Ahh, disregard my last comment. I see that the rollover on the Dialogue showed "Quiet" while the Vocabulary section indicated it was "Soft (of sound)". I should have checked that after remembering the contextual adjustments made to the dialog rollovers.

Hi - I'm a bit stuck on 轻 (qing1). Here, it defines it as "quiet" but the CEDICT dictionary shows it as "light, easy, gentle, soft...". Altavista's translator also uses a different word (安静 / an1 jing4). Perhaps you can help me clear things up?
