Netilat yadayim for one who slept wearing gloves

Hi,

One who sleeps wearing gloves still must perform the ritual netilat yadayim washing upon rising; one of the reasons for washing is the fact that we were asleep, and that reason does apply in this case. There is debate, though, as far as whether one should recite a blessing upon this washing.

Have a great day,
