| | Someone who wakes up in the middle of the night whether it is to go to the bathroom quickly and jump back into bed or it is to work for several hours, several halachot are immediately relevant. These halachot include [[Netilat Yadayim]], [[Asher Yatzar]], [[Birchot Hatorah]], [[Birchot Hashachar]], and [[Doing Activities Before Davening]]. Many are collected here. |

| ## according to Sephardim, one should wash [[Netilat Yadayim]] with a bracha and say [[Birchot 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.
| |
| * Rav Shlomo Zalman is quoted in Halichot Shlomo ([[Tefilla]] 2:23, pg 23) who rules like the Chaye Adam and states when one is washing one's hands after having gone to the bathroom in the morning and one knows that one will need to go to the bathroom again before [[davening]] the first time one should wash without a bracha and after going to the bathroom the second time when one is ready for [[davening]] one should wash with the bracha.
| |
| * Rav Mordechai Willig in Am Mordechai ([[Brachot]], Siman 11, pg 45-8) writes that one should go to the bathroom, wash without a cup, and then when one is ready for [[davening]] to wash again with a cup and make the bracha of Al [[Netilat Yadayim]]. </ref>

| Sephardim:

| Ashkenazim:
| |
| | |
| After waking up one goes to the bathroom, then washes one's hands '''without''' a bracha and subsequently says Birchot HaTorah. When it is time to daven, '''wash again''' this time '''with a bracha''' before davening.

| | |
| | |
| Chaye Adam (Beiur Halacha, Rav Shlomo Zalman):
