Staying Up Late
noun, verbal noun
Remember how 夜更け meant "late at night"? Well, this is similar to that, but instead of referring to the time of night, it refers to the act of staying up late.
夜更かし typically means staying up well past the time you know you should be going to bed. It's often associated with guilty pleasures like binge-watching TV shows or gaming.
This word uses the same readings as 夜更け. If you can remember that one, you should be fine here as well!
