People are right to worry about the phone's battery. If you want to keep it that long, get a 500mA charger and slow charge it every night and avoid deep discharge.
This combined with adaptive charge would mean you will probably wake up with a dead battery.
Adaptive charging just charges at full speed until it gets to 80%. It then maintains that level until 2-3 hours before the time the alarm is set for, and then it charges to 100%. A 500ma charger likely wouldn't be able to fully charge the phone while a normal person sleeps (depends on the starting charge level of course), but the worst that adaptive charging wouldn't do anything that would lead to the battery being dead
