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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
