Wiping Over the Khuffs and Then Sleeping

Question
When someone wipes over their khuffs and then sleeps after the wiping, when does the counting of the duration for wiping over the khuffs begin?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Its first duration is from the beginning of the sleep time, not from the moment of awakening; because sleep nullifies ablution, so does wiping. See: Tanweer al-Absar and Al-Durr al-Mukhtar and Rad al-Mukhtar 1: 185, and Al-Hadiyya al-Alaiyya p. 40, and God knows best.
