Question
A person who goes to sleep at twilight and wakes up before midnight, should they recite the blessing 'Hamapil'?
Answer
The fact that one wakes up before midnight is not a reason to exempt from the blessing, but since they go to sleep before nightfall, it is not considered night, and they cannot recite the blessing. Even someone who always prays Maariv at Plag, since it is not night, cannot recite the blessing.
