nighters
Those pulling all-nighters
Nighters is the plural of nighter, a word that almost never appears alone but forms compounds describing events or activities lasting through the night.
An all-nighter is a session of work or study extending until morning.
A one-nighter or two-nighter describes how many consecutive nights something lasts—often performances or romantic encounters.
