# Once you have said קריאת שמע על המטה you shouldn’t speak, eat, or drink. Before one said the Bracha of HaMapil, if one needs to eat, drink, or say something really important there is a possibility to be lenient, and one should repeat Shema. However, if one already said the Bracha of HaMapil one shouldn’t make any interruption. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 239:4 says that it is מותר to speak if it is important, but once you said המפיל it is a הפסק between the ברכה and the sleeping. The רמ"א says that you shouldn’t speak rather one should go to bed right after Kriyat Shema Al HaMitah. So holds the Yalkut Yosef (Brachot pg 664). </ref> | # Once you have said קריאת שמע על המטה you shouldn’t speak, eat, or drink.

# Someone who wants to say the Bracha before leaving the Bet Midrash and not to say it in the room not to be bothered one may do so (but afterwards one shouldn’t make any interruptions besides going to the room and going to sleep). <Ref>Halichot Shlomo (Tefilla pg 170) </ref> | |||

# Even if one didn’t end up falling asleep the Bracha was considered in vain because the Bracha was said about people in the world going to sleep but was established for when one tried going to sleep. <Ref>Piskei Teshuvot 239:3 </ref> | |||

# It's good to read the שמע on your bed sitting or standing, if you already laid down you don’t need to get up rather say it on your side, but it is אסור to say it while lying on your back or on your belly, בדיעבד any way is יוצא. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 239:6 writes that there are those that are more חמור and make you stand but we are מיקל. </ref> | # It's good to read the שמע on your bed sitting or standing, if you already laid down you don’t need to get up rather say it on your side, but it is אסור to say it while lying on your back or on your belly, בדיעבד any way is יוצא. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 239:6 writes that there are those that are more חמור and make you stand but we are מיקל. </ref> | ||
