Reply To: Do women need to stay up all night of Shavuos?

Tomim – “Minhag Chabad is to stay up learning until Alos Hashachar, and then to go to sleep until regular davening time, so we can daven like chassidim”

The reason we stay up on Shavuos is to “fix” (hence Tikun Leil Shavuos) that Bnei Yisroel slept in at Mattan Torah.

The Chabad minhag seems funny to me. To stay up al night and then go back to sleep before davening when the kriya of Mattan Torah takes place?! It’s like davka gong to sleep before Mattan Torah!

Also, there are halachic problems of going to sleep when it is time to do a mitzvah, in this case, the mitzva of davening shachris.

Plus it gives up the special inyan of davening at netz, k’vosikim!

I respect the various minhagim of kehilos kodesh, but this minhag seems strange to me.
