OK, this has been hanging around too long. I was a bit iffy about it being removed last year, and I really don't mind it returning as an entry. I'll approve and reopen for a bit. 
If anyone wants to build a 気がついたら entry we can chew on that too.

weblio's  thesaurus lists 気がついたら as a synonym to いつしか いつの間にか etc.

>These glosses make it seem more idiomatic than it actually is.

I disagree,I think it it just that idiomatic and not really covered by the base entry. I'd be likelier to translate it as "suddenly" than "when I realized".
