The Camco Olympian Wave 6 Catalytic Safety Heater # CAM57341 does have specific requirements for you to be able to keep it on, at night or otherwise. The following instructions come directly from the manual:

"To assure complete combustion, an adequate fresh-air supply to the room is necessary. It is good practice to have at least two openings, one high and one low. The room must have a total of at least 24 square inches free-air opening (i.e. an opening of 4" x 6" = 24 square inches). Provide additional ventilation of at least 2 square inches for every 1,000 BTUs per hour of input for any additional fuel burning appliances used at the same time."

I have also added a link to a video review of this heater for you to take a look at.
