Netei Gavriel Shavuos ch. 17. s. 5 and FN 5 & 6
“There is an opinion to remain awake BOTH nights of Shavuos and say Tikun during both nights (see FN5 for sources), but now the custom is not followed because the majority of people are unable to keep it (see FN6 for details of those that followed it).”
So we are simply wimping out to be meikil by not staying up both nights – really we should, and if we can, we must!
We look for all kinds of chumrahs, but here we have one right in our face. Dare we ignore it?!
