отнимать время у ночи

На столе лежал какой-то учебник, а она, положив голову и руки на него, крепко спала. Я тихо позвала её, она быстро вскочила; в её глазах, когда она увидела меня, было столько стыда и боли, что у меня не хватило духа по-настоящему её распечь. Ей приходилось отнимать время у ночи для подготовки уроков.

burn the midnight oil
Если переводить более образно
Fig. to stay up working, especially studying, late at night. (Alludes to working by the light of an oil lamp late in the night.) I have a big exam tomorrow so I'll be burning the midnight oil tonight. If you burn the midnight oil night after night, you'll probably become ill.
