Hi, I am having issues sleeping these days due to somewhat of an intense version of insomnia, I have had times where I have stayed up for thirty hours straight. Anyway, lately I have been having so many sleepless nights that I can’t really say all of brachos. In this situation what parts of Brachos do you say in the morning if you haven’t slept all night?
1) Netilas Yadayim: Immediately after alos amud ha-shachar, one should relieve himself and then wash his hands, followed by Al netilas yadayim and Asher yatzar. In this case, all poskim agree that washing is required and a blessing is recited.
2)Birchos haTorah: The Mishnah Berurah says one should listen – with intent to be yotzei – as another person, who did sleep, recites the blessing. This should be followed by each person reciting yevorechecha and eilu devarim, so that the blessings are followed immediately by some Torah learning.
3)Many poskim say that one who didn’t sleep can still say Elokei Neshama and HaMa’avir Sheinah, although the M”B prefers you hear these blessings from another person who slept.
4)All poskim agree that the other sixteen morning blessings may be recited by one who did not sleep at all during the night.
