 <\/p>\n

Some are concerned that after reciting Ha-mapil<\/em> they will not fall asleep, rendering it a berakha le-vatala<\/em>. However, the fact that the Sages instituted Ha-mapil<\/em> means that they were not concerned about this. Ha-mapil<\/em> is a berakha<\/em> thanking God for sleep, and even if one does not manage to fall asleep, the expression of thanks is not made in vain (\u0124ayei Adam<\/em> 35:4). Still, the Sages instituted this recitation for those who intend to sleep, and therefore one who does not plan sleeping on a given night does not recite Ha-mapil<\/em>. 1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Ha-mapil<\/em> is not recited on daytime sleep, although some recommend reciting Vi-yhi No\u2019am<\/em> before taking a daytime nap (MB 239:8 and BHL s.v. \u201cSamukh\u201d). Ha-mapil<\/em> is also not recited on temporary sleep at night. However, sleeping in one\u2019s bed for at least half an hour is considered regular sleep (Eshel Avraham<\/em> \u00a7239; Beit Barukh<\/em> 35:10).<\/p>\n

One who went to sleep at night after reciting Ha-mapil<\/em>, later rose to handle certain matters, and then went back to sleep does not repeat Ha-mapil<\/em>, since it is only recited once a night (Beit Barukh<\/em> 35:9.<\/p>\n

One who fell asleep without reciting Ha-mapil<\/em> and woke up in the middle of the night with the intention of falling back asleep recites the berakha<\/em> before going back to sleep. She must rub her hands on her blanket before reciting it in case her hands touched the normally covered parts of her body (SA 4:23; MB 61; unlike Piskei Teshuvot<\/em> 239:1 which states that netilat yadayim <\/em>is required).<\/p>\n

Some infer, based on Arizal\u2019s mystical teachings, that only one who goes to sleep before \u0125atzot <\/em>recites Ha-mapil<\/em>. Hence, many Sephardim recite Ha-mapil<\/em> without God\u2019s name when going to sleep after midnight (Kaf Ha-\u0125ayim<\/em> 239:8; see Ye\u0125aveh Da\u2019at <\/em>vol. 4:70). However, according to practice of Ashkenazim and some Sephardim,<\/em> one recites Ha-mapil <\/em>as long as she goes to sleep before dawn.<\/p>\n

  1. According to Ben Ish \u0124ai, Pekudei (Year 1) 12, Ha-mapil is not recited with God\u2019s Name (Shem U-malkhut), lest the one saying it interrupt by talking or does not fall asleep. Nonetheless, according to most poskim, it is recited with God\u2019s name because talking does not render the berakha invalid, and there is no need to be concerned that the person reciting it will not fall asleep. ↩<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
