Question
Sometimes I am tired and I go to rest on my bed after Maariv and after the stars come out. Sometimes I fall asleep for a quarter of an hour and sometimes for a longer time. Do I need to recite the blessings of the Torah when I get up? If I need to bless, what should I do after I sleep again at night for a long sleep? Do I need to bless again?
Answer
Shalom Rav
One does not recite the blessings after a short nap, even if the nap is at night. Only after a regular sleep — the kind of sleep one has at night.
Therefore, after the short sleep, do not bless. After the long night sleep, bless.
