However, if one has already gone to sleep before the rain stops, the Mishna Berura opines that according to all opinions, one
need not get up to eat in the sukkah for the following reason:

טלרת ןמיס הרורב הנשמ . 14
רתוי טעמו הציב רועישכ םעפה דוע לוכאל ךירצ תמדוקה הליכא לע ז”מהב ךריב רבכ וליפא םימשגה וקספ םאו
אל ןיידעשכ אוהו םשגה תעב לכאש המב אצוי וניאד ל”סד םיקסופה תעד תאצל ידכ הכוסב בשיל ךרבלו הכוסב
צ”א רוטפ רעטצמ םאו ותליכאב אצי רבכ ירה בייח רעטצמ םאד הטמה ןמ םוקל צ”א בכש רבכ םא לבא בכש
.ז”סב ראובמכ הטמה ןמ םוקל

Mishna Berura, 639
If the rain stopped, even if one has already recited birkat hamazon on the earlier meal, one must eat an amount of
slightly more than a k’beitza again, and recite the beracha of leisheiv basukkah, in order to fulfill one’s obligation
according to those poskim that hold that one does not fulfill their obligation while eating in the rain. But this is
only when he has not yet lay down to sleep, but if he was already sleeping, he need not get up (according to all
opinions); for if a mitztaer is obligated, he already fulfilled his obligation in the rain, and if a mitztaer is exempt,
then he doesn’t have to get out of bed (as explained elsewhere that getting out of bed is defined as mitztaer).

The Mishna Berura and Aruch Hashulchan both posited that the basis of the opinion that exempts one from eating in the
rain is because one is mitztaer. Therefore, the Mishna Berura ruled that if one has retired to one’s bed, according to everyone
he would not have to get up. However, from the wording of the Gra, it seems that there is a third opinion. Even if one holds
that a mitztaer is obligated to eat in the sukkah on the first night (as the Rema rules), nevertheless the Gra claims that one
still cannot eat while it is raining. This is due to another problem – that while it is raining, the sukkah loses its status as a
legitimate sukkah.

Biur HaGra, siman 639
Rabeinu Yehuda answered that the practical ramification [of the obligation of the first night more than the
general obligation of eating a meal on Yom Tov] is regarding if it rains, as on the first night, it is still an obligation
[to eat] even if it rains. And see the Rosh there, and the Semak writes similarly. But Tosafot write there: “For
example, if it rained and one ate outside the sukkah, and then the rain stopped, that he is obligated,” similar to
what the Rashba writes – that at the time that it is raining, it loses its status as a sukkah… and the opinion of
Tosafot is the primary one.

Based on this opinion of the Gra (and the rishonim he follows), some poskim disagree with the Mishna Berura and obligate
one to return to the sukkah and eat if one woke up in the middle of the night and saw that the rain stopped.
