There must be something draining the battery. My best guess would be your brake lights are staying on all night. Check to see if they're still on when you park the car. You will have to replace the brake light switch if that's the problem.

Not many other things can drain a battery overnight. Do you leave the keys in the ignition? If the igntion is in the "ON' position, it will drain the battery as well.
