Not learning on "Nittel Night"? What's that all about? | Ask the Rabbi Live with Rabbi Chaim Mintz Not learning on "Nittel Night"? What's that all about? | Ask the Rabbi Live with Rabbi Chaim Mintz

Originally, Jews would go to sleep early to be able to get up early as well, so the evil inclination doesn't have a claim against the Jewish people, as the non-Jews would get up early as well. Therefore, in order to counter the strength of impurity, the Jews would wake up early at the time when the non-Jews would pray. since non-jews don't really get up early anymore, it would be better to learn than not.
