Waking Up From Sleep

One should do the following five things after waking up from sleep:

1. Imam An Nawawi and Ibn Hajar stated that wiping away the effects of sleep from the faces with ones hands is desirable based on the following:
   
   When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) woke up, he would sit up and rub away the effects of sleep from his face with his hand.
   
2. He s.a.w. would say the following supplication after waking up:
   
   الحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ
   
   Transliteration: alḥamdu lillaahil-ladhee aḥyaanaa ba‛da maa amaatanaa wa ilayhin-nushoor
   
   Meaning: All praise is for Allah who gave us life after death (sleep) and to Him is the resurrection. (Bukhari #6312)
   
3. Use of a siwaak:
   When the Prophet s.a.w woke up from the night (sleep), he used to clean his mount with a Siwaak.
   
4. Snuff water:
   When one of you wakes up from sleep then snuff water three times. For indeed, Shaytaan spends the night in the upper part of his nose.
   
5. Wash both hands three times:
   When one of you wakes up from sleep, he must not dip his hand into a utensil until he washes it three times.
