Either you have a weak battery or parasitic drain. I would load test the battery to make sure it's good. If battery is good? Then you something draining it. You can hook a test light or multi meter in series with the negative terminal on the battery and the negative cable to see if you have a drain. Make sure all doors are closed and key is in the off position when testing.

Kent, you can take your car to the auto parts store so they can test your battery and alternator for free.

Measure the battery voltage in the morning and let us know what it is.

It sounds a bit like your battery cables aren't making good connection. When you're in this state, try moving those around and see if you get anything. Clean the battery contacts and make sure the connectors are on tight.

I'm not sure exactly what you are describing, but it sounds like it may just be a bad connection at the battery. I would try cleaning the connections before doing anything else
