Question
I vowed not to sleep in the afternoon, and I really want to sleep on Shabbat afternoon. Is this considered a necessity for Shabbat that would allow me to annul it on Shabbat, as I have no opportunity to annul it before Shabbat?
Answer
Sleeping on Shabbat is part of the delight of Shabbat, and it is permissible to annul the vow on Shabbat.
