Someone told me that Reb Moshe and other gedolim (whom he did not 
name) did not stay up all night learning. I am pretty sure that Rav 
A. Miller also did not stay up all night learning. He went to sleep 
at his regular bedtime, around 11 PM.

This person claimed that these gedolim felt that it was more 
important for them to keep their regular sedorim, than to stay up all 
night and interrupt their regular learning.
