# According to Ashkenazim, A person can recite hamapil if he goes to sleep at any point during the night even after midnight as long as it is before Olot Hashachar. However, if a person is going to sleep right before Olot Hashachar and he is concerned that he won’t fall asleep until after Olot one shouldn’t recite Hamapil.<ref>Biur Halacha 239:1 s.v. samuch</ref>
