# Preferably one should wake up before [[Olot HaShachar]] so that you are able to "awaken the dawn". <ref> S"A 1:1 writes that one should awaken the dawn. Halacha Brurah 1:1 explains that dawn here means [[Olot HaShachar]]. </ref> However, there is a basis for the widespread practice to wake up later <ref> Piskei Teshuvot 1:2 quoting Mishmeret Shalom 1:1 </ref>, as long as one is insistent to wake up (around a half hour) before the time for davening in a minyan. <ref> Mishna Brurah 1:9 </ref>

# Many Achronim hold that one should "connect" the night and day with Torah by learning at end of the night (which is the beginning of the day) and end of the day (which is beginning of night). <ref> Shlah HaKadosh (Chulin, Derech Chaim D"H VeZeh Lashon Tolat Yacov) writes that one should connect the night and day with learning Torah. Many Achronim quote this as halacha including the Magan Avraham 1:1, Bear Hetiev 1:2, Mishna Brurah 1:2, Ben Ish Chai (Vayishlach 2), and Halacha Brurah 1:1. </ref> However, those who don't do this have what to rely on. <ref> Netziv in Emek She'elah (Vetchanan 143:3) writes that the source of the Shelah is the Yerushalmi (first perek of Yoma) that one should learn two chapters during the morning and night to fulfill "VeHegita Bo Yomam VeLaylah". However, the Bavli in Menachot 99b says one should learn one chapter at day and night implies that one doesn't need to connect the night and day. Rav Ovadyah in Halichot Olam (Vayishlach 1:1) writes that those who don't follow the Shelah can rely on the Bavli. </ref>
