# If one slept during the day for a long period of time one does not make Birchot HaTorah again upon [[waking up]]. Even though there is what to rely on to one to make the [[Brachot]], the Minhag HaOlam is not to make the [[Brachot]], and one should instead hear them from someone who is obligated to make them (both must have kavana, and after the Bracha, both learn some pesukim such as Parshat [[Birkat Cohanim]]). <Ref> S”A 47:11 quotes those who say that a fixed sleep during the day is a [[hefsek]], and then quotes those who say that it isn't a [[hefsek]]; the minhag follows the latter view. However, Eliyah Rabba 47:9 quotes many poskim who say that one should make a Beracha and agrees with them; Mishna Brurah 47:25 quotes many main acharonim who say to make a Birchas HaTorah, and concludes that one who does doesn't lose out. However, many contemporary poskim including Piskei Teshuvot 47:14, Halichos Shlomo [[Tefilla]] 6:6, Rivevos Ephraim 8:609:1, Ishei Yisrael 6:25, Karna Deigrata 1:133, Halachically Speaking (vol 3, article 1, pg 5), and Piskei Teshuvot 47:14 write that the minhag is not to make any Birchot HaTorah for sleeping in the day. </ref>

==NightTime==
# The night goes after the day with regards to Birkas HaTorah; therefore, one doesn't make a new Birkas HaTorah when night begins. However, if one goes to sleep, one will need to make a new Birkas HaTorah when one wakes up <ref> Shulchan Aruch 47:12, M"B S.K. 28 </ref>.
# If one woke up before [[Olot HaShachar]] (after [[Chatzot]]) and wants to learn, one should make Birchot HaTorah even if one will go to sleep afterwards. If one does go back to sleep Shinat Kevah during the night, there’s what to rely on to make Birchot HaTorah a second time. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 47:29,30 </ref>
#Someone who wakes up early in the morning before dawn can make all the [[Brachot]] ([[Brachot HaShachar]] and Birchot HaTorah) except Hanoten LeSachvi Binah and Parshat HaTamid which should wait until Or hayom. The Birchot HaTorah then covers his [[Brachot]] all day. <ref> S”A 47:13 </ref>
# If one didn't sleep all night, such as on the night of [[Shavuot]], there's a dispute whether one should make Birchot HaTorah. According to Ashkenazim, one should try to hear the [[Brachot]] from someone else, and then say some pesukim afterwards. If one is unable to do that, one should have intent that one's Bracha of Ahava Rabba should count for Birchot HaTorah, and then learn after [[Tefillah]].<ref>Mishna Brurah 47:28, Rabbi Hershel Schachter (cited by Bet Yitzchak vol 30, p. 592). The side that says one should say it views Birchas HaTorah as similar to other Birchos Hashachar, which are said every morning, regardless of whether one slept or not. </ref>However, the Sephardic minhag is to say Birchot HaTorah by oneself.<ref>Chazon Ovadyah ([[Yom Tov]] p. 312)</ref>
# If one slept Shinat Kevah the day before staying up all night, one should make the Birchot HaTorah in the morning after one didn’t sleep. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 47:28 in name of Rabbi Akiva Eiger </ref>
