I've seen some posts that say this Awake Time thing is due to the Messages app bug, and I've seen other posts that say that's a false rumor, and I've seen other posts that blame it on other things, etc.
It's pretty black and white, honestly. I rebooted my phone and sent a text using the built-in Messages app. I then turned off the screen. 3 hours later I turned the screen back on, went into Settings / About Phone / Status, and the Awake Time was 100% of the Up Time.
I then installed chompSMS, configured its notifications, turned off the Messages app's notifications, made chompSMS the default SMS app, rebooted the phone again, sent a text using chompSMS, turned off the screen and waited another 2 hours. This time, my Awake Time was 8% of my Up Time.
I repeated this process with 2 other SMS apps and had the same result every time.
Thanks to everyone who put the work into finding these workarounds!!!
