# If one wakes up in the middle of the night and does not plan on going back to sleep, according to Sephardim, one should wash [[Netilat Yadayim]] with a bracha and say [[Brachot HaTorah]]. <ref> Or Letzion (vol 2 chap 1 note 2) writes that if one is not going back to sleep one should make the [[Netilat Yadayim]] with a bracha right away. </ref> 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 can be expected when waking up a long time before [[davening]]), one should wash without a bracha upon awakening, after having gone to the bathroom the first time wash again without a bracha, and after having gone to the bathroom a second time and assuming one is then ready for [[davening]] wash with the bracha of Al [[Netilat Yadayim]]. Some say that one should wash the first times without a cup. <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 upon [[waking up]] to wash without a bracha 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.
