Can I omit the second auxiliary here?
Ich bin früh aufgewacht und habe viel gearbeitet.
Can I omit "habe" here or should I keep it because the verbs "aufwachen" and "arbeiten" require different auxiliaries?

And what about a sentence where both verbs require the same auxiliary?
Ich habe viel geschlafen und gearbeitet.
Is it okay not to repeat the second "habe"?

Answer

You can omit the repetition, so your second sentence is fine. The first one needs both auxiliaries, though.
