# If a person wakes up in the middle of the night, wants to get up for some time and then go back to sleep, he should wash his hands without a bracha and then when one wakes up the second time to start his day he should wash with a bracha. <ref>Piskei Teshuvot 1:6 writes that it is preferable to wash when one wakes up the first time, however, one shouldn't recite a bracha since one is not ready to daven as in Beiur Halacha 4:1 s.v. Afilu. Halichot Shlomo ([[Tefillah]] pg 170) and Yalkut Yosef 4:25 agree. </ref> | # If a person wakes up in the middle of the night, wants to get up for some time and then go back to sleep, he should wash his hands without a bracha and then when one wakes up the second time to start his day he should wash with a bracha. <ref>Piskei Teshuvot 1:6 writes that it is preferable to wash when one wakes up the first time, however, one shouldn't recite a bracha since one is not ready to daven as in Beiur Halacha 4:1 s.v.

# If one wakes up in the middle of the night and wants to take a drink, one should preferably wash one's hands first, but if this is too difficult one can just wipe one's hands on a blanket or one's clothing and then recite the bracha to have the drink. <ref>If someone wakes up in the middle of the night do they have to wash netilat yadayim? Eshel Avraham 4:1 s.v. mmori is lenient if one wakes up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom that he doesn't have to wash netilat yadayim before walking 4 amot since one is planning on going back to sleep. Torat Yekutiel 1:1:2 writes that one can rely on the Eshel Avraham 4:1 even if it isn't an extenuating circumstance but someone with Yirat Hashem shouldn't be lenient unless it is an extenuating circumstance. Piskei Teshuvot 1:6 quotes this and suggests that the Mishna Brurah agrees that there's no obligation unless one is planning on staying up. | # If one wakes up in the middle of the night and wants to take a drink, one should preferably wash one's hands first, but if this is too difficult one can just wipe one's hands on a blanket or one's clothing and then recite the bracha to have the drink. <ref>If someone wakes up in the middle of the night do they have to wash netilat yadayim?

* Shulchan Aruch O.C. 4:23 writes that if a person went to sleep with pajamas he can recite brachot hashachar without first washing netilat yadayim. This is based on the Rosh Brachot 9:23, Rashba responsa 1:153, and Rambam Tefillah 7:3-4. Aruch Hashulchan 4:20 accepts Shulchan Aruch. However, the Birkei Yosef 4:8 argues that according to the Zohar 1:10b it is forbidden to recite brachot without netilat yadyaim since there's a ruach raah on one's hands. Shaarei Teshuva 4:30 and Mishna Brurah 4:61 cite the Zohar. Mishna Brurah 4:61 concludes that one should be strict if one has water. Or Letzion 2:1:8 writes that if it is difficult to do netilat yadayim it is permitted to make a bracha in order to drink without washing one's hands. He explains that one can rely on Shulchan Aruch in such a case. Yabia Omer O.C. 4:2 and Yalkut Yosef 4:24 agree. He explains that one should first rub one's hands against something that would clean them such as one's blanket before reciting the bracha. </ref> | * Shulchan Aruch O.C. 4:23 writes that if a person went to sleep with pajamas he can recite brachot hashachar without first washing netilat yadayim.

# If one gets up in the middle of the night and one can't wash one's hands with wash one shouldn't waste the time but can learn after he rubs them against something to clean them.<ref>Shulchan Aruch Harav Mehudra Tinyana 1:7 writes that one shouldn't be strict for the Zohar to learn before washing one's hands if it'll lead to bitul torah.
