Shulchan Arukh Orach Chayim 44 — English translation
Translation: Sefaria Community Translation. Section numbers match the Hebrew text above.
- 1One may not even nap while wearing his shel rosh and shel yad. If he covers them with a kerchief and he is not with his wife he is permitted to nap. This means he should rest his head between his knees and he may nap while sitting in that position. If one binds his tefillin to his hand he may even sleep but if they are not bound to his hands he may not even nap. Rama: This restriction applies when he is holding them outside of their case but if they are in their case it is permitted.

איסור שינה בתפילין. ובו סעיף אחד:
כל זמן שתפילין בראשו או בזרועו אסור לישן בהם אפי' שינת עראי אלא אם הניח עליה סודר ולא היתה עמו אשה ישן בהם שינת עראי וכיצד הוא עושה מניח ראשו בין ברכיו והוא יושב וישן היו תפילין כרוכין בידו מותר לישן בהם אפילו שינת קבע ואם אוחזן בידו ואינם כרוכים בידו אסור לישן בהם אפי' שינת עראי: הגה ודוקא כשאוחזן בלא נרתקן אבל בנרתקן בכל ענין שרי (ב"י בשם העיטור):
