"Keep someone up at night" = làm tôi đêm không ngủ được -> sự việc làm ta trăn trở, không chợp mắt được.

Ví dụ
Dr Fauci says COVID-19 was the kind of disease that "kept him up at night" before it emerged (xuất hiện) and caused a global pandemic.

“We were left in a terrible, terrible situation, and I can tell you, worrying about where we would get the next PPE shipment, that’s what kept me up at night,” the premier (thủ tướng) recalled.

It was with great delight that I found the listing for our next pick of the week, in that it's exactly the sort of eBay listing I dream of and represents the inquisitive (tò mò) spirit of hunting high and low that this column promotes. Well-preserved watch, unknowing seller, the sort of photos that don't cut it but also keep you up at night – you know the drill. Luckily, it also just so happens to be for an incredible watch that seldom surfaces, making the opportunity to own this fresh-to-market example all the more exciting.
