all-nighter
Sleep-skipping study session
An all-nighter is a session of working or studying that extends through the entire night: I pulled an all-nighter to finish the paper.
The term implies necessity or urgency rather than choice—cramming before exams, meeting deadlines, or completing projects.
College students are especially associated with pulling all-nighters.
