#The earliest time to say [[Birchot HaShachar|''birchot hashachar'']] is from [[Chatzot|''chatzot'']] (halachic midnight). <ref>Magen Avraham 47:13, Kaf HaChaim 46:49, Or Letzion (vol 2, 4:9) </ref> Initially one should say ''hanoten lesechvi binah'' after ''alot hashachar''. However, if one did say it after ''chatzos'', they have fulfilled their obligation.<ref>Rosh (Teshuva 4:1) writes that initially one shouldn't say Hamotzei Lesechvi until Olot. Shulchan Aruch 47:13 codifies this. Magen Avraham 47:13 cites the Arizal who says that all of the brachot can be said after Chatzot but the Magen Avraham qualifies this to where one actually heard the rooster crow. Either way he concludes that it is better to be strict to wait until olot. Mishna Brurah 47:31, Biur Halacha 47:13, and Peninei Halacha (Tefillah 9:5) agree. </ref>

#The earliest time that one should put on [[Tallit|''tallit'']] is [[MeSheYakir|me'she'yakir]], which is one hour (in [[Shaot Zmaniot]]) before ''[[HaNetz|hanetz]].'' If one must, they can put on ''tallit'' as early as ''alot hashachar''; yet they should not make a ''bracha'' until ''me'she'yakir.'' If one already made a ''bracha'' they should not repeat it, even if they made it before ''alot hashachar''.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 18:3 rules that the time to make the bracha on [[Tallit]] is from [[MeSheYakir]]. There is a dispute among the achronim about when exactly [[MeSheYakir]] is. Because of [[Safek Brachot LeHakel]], Halacha Brurah 18:6 one may not make the bracha earlier than a fifth of an hour (in [[Shaot Zmaniot]]) after [[Olot HaShachar]]. See Rema ibid. that one may make a bracha at alot hashachar. Mishna Brura ibid. 10 says that although one should be stringent like the Shulchan Aruch; however, we will not stop someone who does like the Rema. He adds that even for one who does like the Rema should wait with the bracha until mesheyakir. He adds that one who makes a bracha, even at night, need not make another one because there are rishonim who hold that one can make the bracha at night. </ref>
#The earliest time that one should put on [[Tallit|''tallit'']] is [[MeSheYakir|me'she'yakir]], which is one hour (in [[Shaot Zmaniot]]) before ''[[HaNetz|hanetz]].'' Ashkenazim, if they must, may put on ''tallit'' as early as ''alot hashachar''; yet they should not make a ''bracha'' until ''me'she'yakir.''

Mishna Brura ibid. 10 says that although one should be stringent like the Shulchan Aruch; however, we will not stop someone who does like the Rema. Aruch Hashulchan 18:9 paskens acc. to Rema. The Mishna Berura adds that even for one who does like the Rema he should wait with the bracha until mesheyakir. He adds that one who makes a bracha, even at night, need not make another one because there are rishonim who hold that one can make the bracha at night. </ref>
#Ashkenazim, in a case of need, can be lenient to say the bracha on [[Tallit]] from [[Olot HaShachar]] which is 72 minutes (in [[Shaot Zmaniot]]) before [[HaNetz]]. <ref>Rama 18:3 says that bedieved if one wears a [[Tallit]] after [[Olot HaShachar]] one should make a bracha and concludes that such was the minhag. Aruch Hashulchan 18:9 agrees. Mishna Brura 18:10 says that ideally though one should wait until Misheyakir. </ref>
