I was up really late last night.

Dear all,

Please see the following sentences. They are taken from the Facebook post of a native English teacher. Here please tell me why he used the word "would". As per my understanding "Usually I open presents in the morning is OK". Secondly, I'd like to know whether the usage "I was up really late last night" is natural. As a non-native speaker, I tend to say "I stayed up really late last night". Lastly, can we say "so I got up late this morning" instead of "so I slept late this morning"? I'd like to get your opinion on this.

"It's time to open/unwrap presents and find out what Santa brought me for Christmas. Usually I 'would' open presents in the morning, but 'I was up' really late last night, so I slept late this morning."
