# According to Ashkenazim, if after having gone to the bathroom one will still not be ready for [[davening]] and will have to go to the bathroom another time before [[davening]] (as is common when one wakes up a long time before [[davening]]), one should wash without a Bracha upon [[waking up]], wash a second time without a Bracha after having gone to the bathroom the first time, and then wash a third time with a Bracha of Al [[Netilat Yadayim]] when one is ready for [[davening]] after having gone to the bathroom a second time. Some say that one does not need to wash before going to the bathroom and also that after having gone to the bathroom one should wash without a cup and without the Bracha, and then when one is ready for [[davening]] one should wash again using a cup and make the Bracha. <ref>

* If one is not going to be ready for [[davening]] after having gone to the bathroom the first time, the Beiur Halacha (4:1 s.v. Afliu) presents two opinions about when it is preferable to wash one's hands with the Bracha of Al [[Netilat Yadayim]]. The Chaye Adam holds that it is preferable to wash without a Bracha upon [[waking up]] and when one is ready for [[davening]] to wash again with the Bracha, while the Shaarei [[Teshuva]] holds that one should wash with the Bracha after going to the bathroom even if one is not totally ready for [[davening]]. The Beiur Halacha rules like the Chaye Adam that upon [[waking up]] one should wash without a Bracha and when one is ready for [[davening]] to wash again with the Bracha.

* Rav Shlomo Zalman (quoted in Halichot Shlomo ([[Tefilla]] 2:23, pg 23)) rules like the Chaye Adam and states when one is washing one's hands after having gone to the bathroom in the morning and one knows that one will need to go to the bathroom again before [[davening]], the first time one should wash without a Bracha and after going to the bathroom the second time when one is ready for [[davening]] one should wash with the Bracha.

* Rav Mordechai Willig in Am Mordechai ([[Brachot]], Siman 11, pg 45-8) writes that one should go to the bathroom, wash without a cup, and then when one is ready for [[davening]] wash again with a cup and make the bracha of Al [[Netilat Yadayim]]. </ref>

# According to Sephardim, one may get dressed, go to the bathroom, and then wash and make the Bracha of [[Al Netilat Yadayim]]. However, it is preferable upon [[waking up]] to wash without a Bracha and then after having gone to the bathroom to wash again with a Bracha unless one has an urgent need to go to the bathroom, in which case one should go to the bathroom before washing one's hands. <Ref> Yalkut Yosef (vol 1, pg 384). Rav Ovadia Yosef in Halichot Olam (v. 1, p. 32) disagrees with the Ben Ish Chai (Toldot #6) who says that one should not touch one's clothes before [[Netilat Yadayim]]. This is quoted by [https://www.dailyhalacha.com/Display.asp?PageIndex=119&ClipID=1521 Rabbi Mansour on dailyhalacha.com]. Halacha Brurah 4:4 writes that if one needs to go to the bathroom one should first go to the bathroom and then wash one's hands with a Bracha of Al [[Netilat Yadayim]]. However, some are strict to wash twice, once before going to the bathroom and once afterward and only make the Bracha the second time. If the need to go to the bathroom is urgent then certainly one should go to the bathroom and only wash afterwards. </ref>

# If one washed with a Bracha before [[Olot HaShachar]], one should wash again at Olot without a Bracha. <Ref> S”A 4:14, Mishna Brurah 4:31, Ishei Yisrael 2:31 </ref>

# If one wakes up before [[Chatzot]], one should wash without a Bracha, and then after Olot Hashachar one should dirty one’s hands (by touching a or by going to the bathroom) and then wash with a Bracha. <Ref>Beiur Halacha 4:13 s.v. Kol, Ishei Yisrael 2:32, Dinei Nieyor Kol HaLaylah (pg 41) </ref>

# If one stayed up all night, one should wash in the morning without a bracha. <ref>{{Ibid}}. The Shulchan Aruch (4:13) writes that there is a doubt whether one makes a Bracha on [[Netilat Yadayim]] on the morning after staying up all night. Similairly, the Rama ({{ibid}}) comments that one should do [[Netilat Yadayim]] without a Bracha.

* The source of the Shulchan Aruch's doubt is the dispute for doing [[Netilat Yadayim]] in the morning. The Rosh ([[Brachot]] 9:23) says because one's hands are "עסקניות" (literally busy) and they may have touched an unclean part of the body during one's sleep, it's an obligation to do [[Netilat Yadayim]] in the morning. As a support to his view that we wash our hands for cleanliness before [[prayer]] he quotes the pasuk from Tehilim (26:6) "אֶרְחַץ בְּנִקָּיוֹן כַּפָּי ". On the other hand, the Rashba (Teshuvat HaRashba 1:191) argues on the Rosh claiming that there is no source for the idea of the Rosh. Rather the reason is that we are purifying our hands for the whole day (theoretically even to cover washing before bread) and the reason that we do it specifically before [[Shacharit]] is that when we wake up in the morning it's as if we are created anew as it says in Eicha (3:23) חֲדָשִׁים לַבְּקָרִים רַבָּה אֱמוּנָתֶךָ.

* A practical difference (explained by the Bet Yosef (4:13)) that emerges from the dispute is a case of a person that didn't go to sleep at night. According to the Rosh, since one didn't go to sleep there is no doubt that a person would have touched an unclean area and so, there's no need for [[Netilat Yadayim]]. On the other hand, the Rashba holds that since we are created new everyday we need [[Netilat Yadayim]] even if one didn't go to sleep that night. Another concern that compounds the doubt of the Shulchan Aruch is the aspect of רוח רעה that is mentioned by the Tur (4:1) and so, even according to the Rosh one should still need to do [[Netilat Yadayim]]. Nonetheless based on a quote from the Zohar (Vayishlach 169b), the Bet Yosef ({{ibid}}) argues that the issue of רוח רעה only applies to the nighttime.

* Rav Ovadiah(Chazon Ovadiah, [[Shavuot]], note 25) mentions that even though the Maharsham (3:126) holds that one even makes a bracha on [[Netilat Yadayim]] of [[Birkat Cohanim]] and going to the bathroom; nevertheless, we don't hold like the Maharsham in this Halacha, says Rav Ovadiah Yosef.

* The Mishna Brurah(4:27) adds that if one indeed went to sleep a שינת קבע (a substantial sleep) on his bed, then one makes [[Netilat Yadayim]] with a Bracha.
