overnighting

Sleeping away temporarily

Overnighting is staying somewhere for one night, typically during travel: We're overnighting in Denver before continuing to Seattle.

The term also applies to shipping packages for next-day delivery: Overnighting the documents will cost extra, but they'll arrive by morning.
