# One shouldn't say [[Kiddush]] on Shavuot night until [[Tzet HaKochavim]].<ref>Magen Avraham (Intro to 494). Chacham Ovadia Yosef in Sh"t Yechave Daat 6:30, Halichot Olam 2: page 3, Sh"t Chazon Ovadia 1:1 and Sh"t Yabea Omer 5:6:5 says that ideally one should wait until 20 minutes after sunset but if necessary one can be lenient and say kiddush earlier, but still should ideally wait until after sunset and try to eat a kezayit of bread after tzet hakochavim. </ref>Some say one should even wait to say Arvit,<ref> Mishna Brurah 494:1</ref> while others argue.<ref> Kaf HaChaim 494:1, Sh"t Yechave Daat 6:30 </ref>

# Many have the custom to stay up Shavuot night learning torah. <ref> Mishna Brurah 494:1 writes that the practice is to stay up all night to learn. He quotes Arizal who said that one who learns all night on Shavuot will long the next year without being damaged. He also quotes the Magen Avraham who explains that since Bnei Yisrael overslept on the day of Matan Torah we stay up all night in order to rectify that mistake.</ref>

# If staying up all night, and one plans on drinking multiple times throughout the night, it is best to make a Shehakol and Borei Nefashot for each drinking. However, if when making the first Shehakol of the night, one has explicit Kavanah (intention) for that Bracha to cover all other drinkings of the night, that works as well, and one would then not need a new bracha at each drinking.  <ref> Halichot Shlomo 12:3 </ref>
