# If one removed one’s [[Tallit]] for [[Kiddush]] before [[Mussaf]] no new bracha would be needed. <ref> Halichot Yisrael (Siman 4 pg 18-9) quotes Rav Gustman who says that if one took off one's [[Tallit]] to make [[Kiddush]] before tekiyot [[shofar]] on ראש השנה, one should not make a new bracha since one probably intended, according to the common minhag, to put it back on after the 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 to make [[Kiddush]] and learn before [[Mussaf]], and concludes that since there is a doubt, one should fold one’s [[Tallit]] before going home so that one can make a new bracha upon returning. ([[Tzitzit]] Halacha Pesuka by Rav Tzvi Kohen 8:72 argues that this would not work since one plans on putting it back on!). </ref>

# 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>

# If one sleeps at night in [[Tzitzit]], there’s a dispute in poskim and so one shouldn’t make a new Bracha on them upon [[waking up]], rather one should exempt it by making a Bracha on the [[tallit]] (or listening to someone else make the Bracha on the [[tallit]]). Additionally, one shouldn’t remove the [[tzitzit]] with intent not to put it back on and then put it back on since according to some that’s causes an unnecessary Bracha. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 8:42. </ref>
