# 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>
# According to Ashkenazim, upon waking up if one needs to go to the bathroom then 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 wash without a bracha upon waking up, wash a second time without a bracha after having gone to the bathroom the first time, and then wash a third time with a bracha of Al Netilat Yadayim after having gone to the bathroom a second time. Some say that one doesn't need to wash before going to the bathroom and that after having gone to the bathroom one should wash without a cup and without the bracha, and then when one is ready for davening one should 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.

* Rav Shlomo Zalman is quoted in Halichot Shlomo (Tefilla 2:23, pg 23) rules like the Chaye Adam and states when one is washing one's hands after having gone to the bathroom in the morning if one knows that one will need to go to the bathroom again before Davening the first time one should wash without a bracha and after going to the bathroom the second time when one is ready for davening one should wash with the bracha.

* Rav Mordechai Willig in Am Mordechai (Brachot, Siman 11, pg 45-8) writes that one should go to the bathroom, wash without a cup, and then when one is ready for davening to wash again with a cup and make the bracha of Al Netilat Yadayim. </ref> according to Sephardim one should make the bracha of Al Netilat Yadyaim after having gone to the bathroom and it's preferable to wash without a bracha before going to the bathroom if the need isn't urgent. <Ref> Halacha Brurah 4:4 writes that if one needs to go to the bathroom one should first go to the bathroom and then wash one's hands with a Bracha of Al Netilat Yadayim. However, some are strict to wash twice, once before going to the bathroom and once afterward and only make the bracha the second time. If the need to go to the bathroom is urgent then certianly one should go to the bathroom and only wash afterwards. </ref>

# According to Sephardim one may get dressed, go to the bathroom, and then wash and make the bracha of Al Netilat Yadyaim. However, it's preferable upon waking up to wash without a bracha and then after having gone to the bathroom to wash again with a Bracha unless one has an urgent need to go to the bathroom in which case one should go to the bathroom before washing one's hands. <Ref> Yalkut Yosef (vol 1, pg 384). Halacha Brurah 4:4 writes that if one needs to go to the bathroom one should first go to the bathroom and then wash one's hands with a Bracha of Al Netilat Yadayim. However, some are strict to wash twice, once before going to the bathroom and once afterward and only make the bracha the second time. If the need to go to the bathroom is urgent then certainly one should go to the bathroom and only wash afterwards. </ref>
