"I've been staying awake..." Sounds like you've been staying up on purpose.

Feedback
With times in the past (last night, yesterday, the other day ..) use past simple rather than present perfect.
"This night" doesn't really work in English, "ta noc" would be "tonight". The night before today is always "last night".
