By neq1's previous reasoning, there's 50% chance of waking in the mornings and 50% chance of waking in the evening for any particular week. That is the case whether the coins are tossed in advance or not. The probability of a particular morning awakening would be 1/12.
I'm not sure where you got your (6/7) figure for neq1's calculations.
neq1 admits that in my original scenario, before I introduced the coin and hibernations, you have a 6/7 probability of waking in the morning. The case where one of the two coins is heads and the other is tails is equivalent to this.
