Slaves often stayed up all night on New Year's Eve to celebrate the arrival of the new year, which held special significance for them. It was a time when many hoped for the possibility of freedom or a change in their circumstances, as some slaveholders would sell or free slaves at the start of the new year. This vigil also allowed them to bond with each other, share stories, and express their hopes and dreams for the future. The night was filled with revelry, music, and a sense of community amidst their struggles.

If you wouldn't like to do this, watch TV until you get really sleepy or just sit there with your eyes open and sing your favorite song. You will eventually get bored and fall asleep.
