# If one needs to go to the bathroom, then, according to Ashkenazim, if after going to the bathroom one will be ready for davening, one should upon waking up wash without a bracha and after having gone to the bathroom wash again with the bracha of Al Netilat Yadayim. <ref> see next footnote </ref>

# However, if after having going to the bathroom one will still not be ready for davening and will have to go to the bathroom another time before davening (as is common when one wakes up a long time before davening), according to Ashkenazim, one should upon waking wash without a bracha, after having gone to the bathroom the first time wash without a bracha, and after having gone to the bathroom a second time wash with the bracha of Al Netilat Yadayim. Some say that one doesn't need to wash before going to the bathroom, after having gone to the bathroom wash without a cup and without the bracha, and then when one is ready for davening wash again using a cup and make the bracha. <ref>

* The Mishna Brurah 4:4 quotes the Magan Avraham as saying that one should wash with the bracha and then go to the bathroom but it's preferable upon waking up to wash without a bracha and after going to the bathroom wash with the bracha.

* However, if one is not going to be ready for davening after having gone to the bathroom the first time, the Biur Halacha (4:1 D"H Afliu) presents two opinions about when it is preferable to wash one's hands with the bracha of Al Netilat Yadayim. The Chaye Adam holds that it's preferable upon waking up to wash without a bracha and when one's ready for davening to wash again with the bracha, while the Shaarei Teshuva holds that one should wash with the bracha after going to the bathroom even if one isn't totally ready for davening. The Biur Halacha rules like the Chaye Adam that upon waking up one should wash without a bracha and when one is ready for davening to wash again with the bracha.
