We celebrate Shavuot to commemorate the day when G-d gave us the Torah on Mount Sinai. By studying all night, we show our love and enthusiasm for this precious gift.
Another reason for staying up all night is that the Jews at Mount Sinai overslept on that historic Shavuot morning. We rectify this by staying up all night, to ensure that we won't sleep late on this day.
Staying up all night is not a halacha, but rather a custom for those who feel they are physically up to it.
The following video raises some interesting questions for those who stay up all night.
