Sleeping by day

Hi,

We have now discussed three parts of the bedtime ritual: Shma, the blessing of HaMapil, and additional passages regarding Divine protection.

The former two elements were instituted for nighttime sleep, but only the latter is recited before going to sleep between dawn and sunset.

(Mishneh Berurah 239:8)

Moadim l'simchah,
Mordechai

    Good afternoon,

    And, what of a Shabbos schluff? That is the only day when I might (on occasion) take a deliberate nap.

    Hi Michael,

    Yes, this halachah would apply for that Shabbos nap.
