Idiomatic Emphasis

A lot of adjectives can be made 'stronger' by the addition of another word or words. In most cases, these words are used as a substitute for very or extremely (sometimes because very and extremely do not collocate (= work) with the adjectives that are being used).

For example: I'm awake = I'm wide awake / I'm warm = I'm as warm as toast
