# Some have the custom to eat dairy meals the first day of Shavuot.  <Ref> Rama 494:3 writes that the minhag is to eat dairy on Shavuot because by having a dairy meal one ensures that will have two loaves of bread, one for the dairy meal and one for the meat meal, and the two loaves of bread are in commemoration of the Shtei HaLechem brought in the Bet HaMikdash on Shavuot. </ref>

# Many have the custom to stay up shavuot night learning torah.<ref>Mishna Brurah 494:1 writes that the practice is to stay up all night to learn. He quotes Arizal who said that one who learns all night on Shavuot will long the next year without being damaged. He also quotes the Magen Avraham who explains that since Bnei Yisrael overslept on the day of Matan Torah we stay up all night in order to rectify that mistake.</ref>

# If one slept at night, one should make [[Asher Yatzer]] in the morning whether or not one went to the bathroom; however, if one didn’t sleep, he should only recite [[Asher Yatzer]] if he goes to the bathroom. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 4:3 </ref>
# According to Ashkenazim, if one slept at night, one should make [[Asher Yatzer]] in the morning whether or not one went to the bathroom; however, if one didn’t sleep, he should only recite [[Asher Yatzer]] if he goes to the bathroom. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 4:3 </ref>

===Tzitzit===
# If one went to sleep (or stayed up) in [[Tzitzit]], preferably one should make a Bracha on wearing a talit to cover the Bracha for Tzitzit, however if that’s not possible, one may make a Bracha on those Tzitzit in the morning, and as one makes the bracha one should shake the Tzitzit strings. <Ref> S”A 8:16 rules that if one slept in Tzitzit one may make a new Bracha on it in the morning and at the time of the Bracha one should shake the Tzitzit strings. Mishna Brurah 8:42 explains that really this issue depends on whether there’s a mitzvah of Tzitzit at night and so it’s preferable to make the Bracha on a talit and cover the Bracha for Tzitzit. Piskei Teshuvot 8:30 adds that someone who that option is unavailable, such as bochrim who don’t wear talitim, should make the Bracha oneself like S”A. </ref>
