all nighters
Dawn-to-dawn studying
An all nighter is a period of staying awake through the entire night, typically to work or study: I pulled an all nighter to finish the paper.
The term implies a deliberate sacrifice of sleep rather than mere insomnia.
Common before deadlines and exams, all nighters are often followed by exhaustion and diminishing returns.
