Most of the time, I use my iPhone right before bed. But yet. When I wake up the next morning the phone is dead.
Why? Why does it die over night even though I'm not using it?

Why does the iPhone die at night?

Be more specific. How much battery is left on your phone before you go to bed? What sort of apps might be using your battery (anything with push enabled). Is anything constantly updating? How's your battery life during the day? When I first got my iP5 I restored from a back up of my 4s and I would consistently lose 10-20% battery overnight. Restored to new and it hasn't happened again.
i once went with a 0% drop. 7 hrs sleep. no running apps in background. 3g switched off. it was an experiment/bet i had with my fandroid friend
Plug it in when you go to sleep?
Sometimes when I check its 50 or higher I leave it be thinking I'm gonna drain it to 0%.

I think my battery drops at night because I get really crappy cell reception in my apartment. Therefore the phone is constantly looking for more cell strength.
I bet you have too many things running, or using location services and when they update also could be an issue.
Mine only drops by about 5% overnight. If yours is dropping fast you might be in a poor reception area.
Because it ran out of battery? That or it couldn't reconcile its feelings of emptiness in the world and decided to end it early.
it depends on the device I had one 4s which dropped like 5-6% with hardly anything running and now with a new 4s it drops maybe 3% max.

Nice i dobt touch anything when i leave my phone down, i have apps still open and whatnot, iphone standby life is incredible
I put my phone on the charger every night and I wake up with it at 100% charge. Then it lasts me all day.
Unless it's a defective iPhone the problem is usually poor wireless signal. This causes the phone (any mobile phone) to increase the gain (power) to maintain a signal.
Plus put it in the charger at night. Easy peasy.

This makes sense. We had the same issue with Verizon at home... and the main reason why we switched carriers. We had to keep our phones on the charger just to talk without our phones dying on us. But the main issue for us was the poor Verizon signal in our location would drop calls constantly... and it did kill our batteries.
My parents house has the same effect on mine. Spotty cell connection, 1 or 2 bars. iPhone stays warm and battery be gone. At my house it'll run for a few days.
