Wipe the effects of sleep from the face with your hands:
Imam An-Nawawee and Ibn Hajar stated this wiping to be desirable based on the following narration:
“When the messenger of Allah (pbuh) woke up, he would sit up and rub his face with his hands.”
-
Say the supplication for waking up:
الحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ
All praise is for Allah who gave us life after death (sleep) and to him is the resurrection.
-
Use siwaak:
When the Prophet (peace be upon him) woke up from the night (sleep), he used to clean his mouth with a siwaak.
-
Snuff water:
When one of you wakes up from sleep, then snuff water three times. For indeed, Satan spends the night in the upper part of his nose.
-
Wash both hands three times:
When one of you wakes up from sleep, he must not dip his hands into a utensil until he washes it three times.
