# If one removed one’s [[tallit]] for [[Kiddish]] before [[Mussaf]] no new Bracha is needed. <ref> Halichot Yisrael (Siman 4 pg 18-9) quotes Rav Gustman who says that if one took off a [[tallit]] to have [[kiddish]] before tekiyot [[shofar]] on ראש השנה shouldn’t make a new Bracha since he probably intended according to the minhag to put it back on after [[kiddish]]. This is also the opinion of Piskei Teshuvot 8:23(3). [Halichot Yisrael (pg 18) writes that Rav Aharon Kotler once made a new Bracha after a short [[kiddish]], however there he gives many explanations for this incident.] See Sh”t Chelkat Yacov 1:105 who writes about a minhag to remove one’s [[tallit]] for a couple of hours in order to go home for [[kiddish]] and learn before [[Mussaf]], and concludes that since there’s a doubt, one should fold one’s [[tallit]] before going home so that you can make a new Bracha upon returning. ([[Tzitzit]] Halacha Pesuka by Rav Tzvi Kohen 8:72 argues that it won’t work since you do plan to put it back on!). </ref>

This is also the opinion of Piskei Teshuvot 8:23(3).

# There’s a dispute if one slept during the day without wearing one’s tzitizit whether a new Bracha is needed upon [[waking up]]. Therefore, it’s preferable to wear them to sleep or have them cover you as you sleep. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 8:42 records a dispute if one slept during the day without wearing one’s tzitizit whether a new Bracha is needed upon [[waking up]]. Therefore, he suggests to avoid this dispute one should wear them to sleep or have them cover you as you sleep. Sefer [[Tzitzit]] by Rav Tzvi Kohen 8:81 adds one should remove it to cover oneself without taking it off completely. See, however, Dirshu Edition of Mishna Brurah 8:42 who comments that according to the Mordechai (cited in 18:8) one is only obligated in [[Tzitzit]] if they are worn normally, it wouldn't help to cover oneself with the [[Tzitzit]] as one sleeps. Piskei Teshuvot 8:23(7) writes that if it’s only a temporary nap, shinat arraya, such as sleeping on one’s hands, on a bench, or in a weird position, no new Bracha is required according to everyone. Thus, one doesn’t need to cover’s one’s body with the [[tzitzit]]. </ref>
