I study all night long...
So you could sign I-USUALLY-STUDY-OVERNIGHT. Or to show present NOW-ME-STUDY-OVERNIGHT. To show past BEFORE-ME-STUDY-OVERNIGHT. To show future WILL-STUDY-OVERNIGHT.
Keep in my that to show for a long time you would wiggle the fingers, yes, but also use what I call the "lalala" mouth morpheme.
