The most painful part for me was the clamps that kept my eyes open...I could relax my face so it kept fighting the clamps and I got some bruises. Also, the pressure they put on your eye until your vision goes black is painful for a couple seconds.
You eyes are numbed with drops so you don't feel much. The laser is painless. All in all, it's 10 minutes of discomfort.
And yes, you have to be awake for it.
