# If one slept during the day for a long period of time one does not make Birchot HaTorah again upon [[waking up]]. <Ref> S”A 47:11 writes that if one slept during the day one doesn't make the Birchot HaTorah upon [[waking up]]. However, Eliyah Rabba 47:9 quotes many poskim who say that one should make a bracha and agrees with them. Also, the Mishna Brurah 47:25 writes that there's what to rely on to make Birchot HaTorah if one slept during the day. However, many contemporary poskim including 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>
# 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>

# If one slept during the day, it’s a dispute whether one should make a Bracha, and even though the halacha permits one to make the [[Brachot]], the Minhag HaOlam is not to make the [[Brachot]] rather one should 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>Mishna Brurah 47:28 writes that the one who makes the Brachots have nothing to loss. However, Piskei Teshuvot 47:14 writes that the minhag is not to make the Birchot HaTorah. See also Halichot Shlomo (pg 74) who supports the opinion that no Bracha is made. </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)</ref>However, the Sephardic minhag is to say Birchot HaTorah by oneself.<ref>Chazon Ovadyah ([[Yom Tov]] p. 312)</ref>
