Original text
<b>שלא לאכול אחר אכילת אפיקומן. ובו ב סעיפים:</b><br>אחר אפיקומן אין לאכול שום דבר: הגה ולא יאכלנו בשני מקומות דלא עדיף מאלו הפסיק בשינה דאסור משום דהוי כשני מקומות (טור):
Not to eat after eating Afikomen. Containing two sections. After Afikomen, one should not eat anything. Rema: And he may not eat it in two places, because it is no better than if he interrupted sleep when it is forbidden to eat it because it is like two places (Tur).
מי שישן בתוך הסעודה והקיץ אינו חוזר לאכול בני חבור' שישנו מקצתן בתוך הסעוד' חוזרים ואוכלים נרדמו כולם וננערו לא יאכלו נתנמנמו כולם יאכלו: הגה וכל זה אינו אלא שישנו לאחר שהתחילו לאכול האפיקומן אבל שינה קודם לזה לא הוי הפסק (טור ורבינו ירוחם):
One who sleeps during the meal and wakes, does not return to eat. Members of a group, some of which slept during the meal, may return and eat. If they all slumbered and awoke, the may not eat. If all of them napped, they may eat. Rema: And all of this only applies where they slept after they began eating the Afikomen. But if they slept before that, it is not an interruption (Tur and Rabbeinu Yeruchem).
