#Although the beracha of HaNoten Layaef Koach is not mentioned in the Gemara, the practice nowadays is to say it.<ref>[http://www.dailyhalacha.com/displayRead.asp?readID=3043 Rabbi Eli Mansour DailyHalacha]. However, Rav Yosef Dov Soloveitchik (Nefesh Harav pg. 107) didn't recite this beracha. Halacha Brurah (Otzrot Yosef 3:10) explains that Sephardim say the bracha even though it isn't in the gemara since it is the minhag and supported by the Arizal. The Chida in Birkei Yosef 46:11 argued that if Rav Yosef Karo knew of the Arizal's opinion he would have retracted. Rav Ovadia in Yechava Daat 4:4 disagreed with this contention but agreed to the conclusion that the minhag of Sephardim is to recite Hanoten Layef Koach. Halacha Brurah adds that it is also acceptable according to Rashi in Sefer Hapardes siman 5 that one can add brachot onto Brachot Hashachar as you wish. Although his opinion is rejected it is another point.
#Although the beracha of HaNoten Layaef Koach is not mentioned in the Gemara, the practice nowadays is to say it.<ref>Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 46:6) rules it should not be recited, as it does not appear in the Talmud. The Acharonim discuss at length on what grounds the common practice is to recite it today. The Chida in Birkei Yosef 46:11 argued that if Rav Yosef Karo knew of the Arizal's opinion he would have retracted. See Kaf HaChaim Palagi 9:10 and Ben Ish Hai (I Vayeshev 5). Rav Ovadia in Yechava Daat 4:4 disagreed with this contention but agreed to the conclusion that the minhag of Sephardim is to recite Hanoten Layef Koach.

However, Rav Yosef Dov Soloveitchik (Nefesh Harav pg. 107) didn't recite this beracha. Rav Mordechai Lebhar (Magen Avot Orach Chaim 46:4) reports the custom in Morocco was to recite it, and this is bolstered by Emek Yehoshua (5:34) and Nahagu Ha'am, but Rav Shalom Meshash (Shemesh uMagen 1:11, 1:25) argues that the assertion Shulchan Aruch would have agreed had he known the Arizal held this way is unfounded.

{{Birchot Hashachar for Someone Who Stayed Up}}
#Even if one did not sleep at all at night, Ashkenazim may nevertheless make all the Birchot HaShachar except for Elokai Nishama, HaMaavir Sheynah, and [[Birchot HaTorah]], which one should preferably hear with intention to fulfill the obligation from someone who has slept.<ref>Rama 46:8, Mishna Brurah 46:24</ref> If one is alone, Poskim differ what an Ashkenazi should do.<ref>Regarding a situation where an Ashkenazi has no one to recite the Berachot on his behalf, the Elyah Rabbah 46:13 says one should not recite HaMaavir Sheynah and Elokai Nishmat, but Aruch HahSulchan (Orach Chaim 46:13) disagrees. Regarding Birchot HaTorah, Mishnah berurah 47:28 says not to say them due to safek berachot lehakel. The Aruch Hashulchan (Orach Chaim 47:23), however, strongly vouches for reciting Birchot Hatorah if awake the whole night and unable to hear from another.</ref>.
#Sephardim may recite all the Birchot HaShachar (including [[Birchot HaTorah]]) except for [[Netilat Yadayim]] (and [[Asher Yatzer]] which one could make oneself if one goes to the bathroom). Birkot HaShachar may be recited from Chatzot, and Birkot HaTorah after Alot HaShachar and washing one's hands without a Beracha<ref>Kaf HaChaim 46:49, Sh"t Yabia Omer 5:6, Or LeTzion 2:4:11, Tefillah KeHilchata (chap 9 note 159) quoting Chacham Ben Tzion Abba Shaul, Yalkut Yosef Birkot Hashachar, Birkot Hatorah and Psukei Dizimra 5764 page 13 </ref>
