To stay in the lighthouse and check for ships that cross pass or is coming. So they have to stay awake for a while because there ships on duty like amost every hour so they have an very important duty.
ADDED:
There primary duty was not monitoring shipping, but ensuring the lamp was lit every night, and keeping it in working order. In many places now, and certainly around the British Isles, there are no lighthouse keepers on regular station any more. The lights have been automated, monitored remotely, and the buildings are visited only for maintenance and repairs.
The first lighthouse that is known to recorded history was Egypt's Pharos of Alexandria. This was said to be built around 280 BC, and not only was it the first it was also the tallest lighthouse ever built standing at 450 high
The Pharos of Alexandria, also commonly referred to as the Lighthouse of Alexandria, is located on the island Pharos in Egypt, Africa. It was built around 280-247 B.C. to guide sailors into the port of Alexandria.
The world's first known lighthouse, and the tallest, was built by the Egyptians somewhere around the year 279 or 283 BC. This was the famous Pharos, or lighthouse of Alexandria, which was situated on the eastern point of Pharos Island, off the western coast of the Nile Delta.

The Cape Hatteras lighthouse was moved due to the threat caused by erosion.
The salary for a lighthouse keeper will vary depending on if the keeper lives in the lighthouse or not. The average salary of a lighthouse keeper is about $167,00 per year.

The CCAFS area had been used by the United States government since 1949 when President Harry S. Truman established the Joint Long Range Proving Grounds at Cape Canaveral to test missiles
The oldest lighthouse in the UK is called the Smeaton's Tower, located in Plymouth on the southern coast near Eddystone rocks. Built in 1756, its light was first lit in 1759 and it is classed as the UK's oldest lighthouse. However, it is no longer used as a lighthouse, but as a tourist attraction and a memorial to its builder. It was in use until 1877, but it was (largely) dismantled and rebuilt on Plymouth Hoe, Plymouth, when it was discovered that Eddystone Rocks, upon which it stood, were eroding.
To alert ships that were passing by, that they were close to shore.

The Cape Hatteras lighthouse is famous for two main reasons:
1. It is the tallest lighthouse in the US.
2. The functional light first, and then the entirelighthouse, was moved due to encroaching erosion.
The original structure of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse was demolished following the construction of a new and improved lighthouse between 1868 and 1870. The new lighthouse became the tallest lighthouse tower in the US, standing 63 metres tall from the base of the foundation to the tip of the roof. By 1935, the tower was badly threatened by the effects of erosion, and attempts to hold back the erosion process through dikes and breakwaters proved futile. For awhile, the tower was abandoned and another light put on a steel tower further inland from the shore. The lighthouse was recommissioned early in 1950 after wooden revetments helped reclaim some of the shoreline, making it safe to use the lighthouse once more.
However, as the shoreline continued to erode, it was decided to relocate the entire tower in 1999. The granite underneath the lighthouse's foundation was mined out and replaced with steel supports. Using hydraulic jacks, these steel supports then moved the entire tower along a system of track beams. The actual removal operation began on 17 June 1999 and was completed several weeks later, on 9 July 1999. The tower was then lowered onto a new concrete pad 883m away, and its temporary steel foundation replaced with brick. The lighthouse survived the move and a ceremonial relighting was held in November that year.
