If you have to charge overnight, you miss out on all the benefits of sleep tracking which personally, has been essential in managing recovery and also illness
Other people are commenting here that they can wake up, put their phone on the charger and it is charged enough to last a full day by the time they take a shower and get dressed in the morning.

I usually spend half an hour or less between waking up and leaving for work, and also shower less than half an hour. I definitely find the Apple Watch battery life to be one of its biggest downsides.
