Question
If I go to sleep during twilight and wake up before midnight, should I say 'HaMapil'?
Answer
The fact that you wake up before midnight is not a reason to exempt you from the blessing, but since you go to sleep before nightfall, it is not considered night, and you cannot recite the blessing. Even if you always pray Maariv at Plag, since it is not night, you cannot recite the blessing.
