cf. 猛醒 https://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php?handler=QueryDictionary&querydictionary_search=%E7%8C%9B%E9%86%92

* Wenlin/ABC conflates 猛省 and 猛醒 in one entry, but this appears to be a mistake; other dictionaries have 猛省 as a synonym/variant for 猛醒 only in the sense “realise suddenly”.
* MoE has an additional sense, “深自反省” , as I don't have any other source or usage examples I'm not submitting it now.
* I changed the spelling to “realize” because I believe CEDICT follows American spelling (it is spelt “realise” in the 猛醒 entry.)

这样的事实,难道还不能使我们猛省吗?
Doesn't that give us food for thought?

对于过去犯下的错误,他今天才猛省过来,惭愧不已。
Today he suddenly realized all the mistakes he had made in the past and felt much abashed.

在中国,人们以为同性恋者不存在。在外国,人们知道同性恋者存在,但不知他们是谁。有两位人类学家给同性恋者写了一本书,题目就叫做《word is out》。然后我又猛省 到自己也属于古往今来最大的一个弱势群体,就是沉默的大多数。这些人保持沉默的原因多种多样,有些人没能力、或者没有机会说话;还有人有些隐情不便说话;还有一些人,因为种种原因,对于话语的世界有某种厌恶之情。我就属于这最后一种。
王小波,《沉默的大多数》

“妈,你不是在四婶房里吃过饭吗?”淑华说。
“我说着玩的,”周氏笑道。她忽然注意觉新不在这里便诧异地问:“怎么你大哥不在这儿?”
“张嫂来喊他,说妈喊他去说话。难道妈在路上没有碰见他?”淑华同样诧异地说。
周氏怔了一下,然后猛省道:“啊,那一定是错过了。我本来要先到这儿来,翠环这丫头一口咬定你们在湖心亭,所以我先到了儿,再从那儿到这儿来。这样就把你大哥错过了。你们看冤枉不冤枉?”
巴金,《春》

Well, I think you're technically correct. But it seems that 猛醒 only rarely means "suddenly awake from sleep".
So 99% of the time, 猛省 and 猛醒 are interchangeable.
One exception is 猛醒的睡狮. You don't talk about a sleeping lion suddenly coming to some realization!
And sure enough, Google finds zero results for 猛省的睡狮.
