Are they all natural? 【I'm chatting with someone on Italki and notice that it's 3:30 am his local time, what would you say?】 Are you up too early or too late? Are you just waking up or still staying up late? Have you just woken up or stayed up late?

I would say 'Have you just woken up or are you staying up late?'

I might be wrong, but I think if you have both options in one sentence "___ or ___" they have to agree in time used (present perfect here). So, maybe a grammatically better way to say this would be "Have you just woken up or have you stayed up late?". Both would be consistent in time used.
