Hi, Yes, oxygen is considered a medication and too much is not good. One night will not "hurt" you though. It can cause fibrosis....thickening-like conditions in the lungs if you continue to use it for extended periods (prolonged periods). I have my spouse turn it off in 10-15 min. in case I doze off and forget. A timer would do the same thing. Like everything....be cautious.
Best wishes, irene
