sleepless

Tossing all night

Sleepless describes being unable to sleep or marked by lack of sleep: a sleepless night, sleepless with worry.

It can characterize a person who hasn't slept or a period spent without sleep.

By extension, sleepless suggests restless vigilance or ceaseless activity: the sleepless city.
