Is charging a iPhone 5 overnight bad

I'm just wondering. I've been charging my iPhone over night for like 2 weeks and I was just wondering if that harms the battery. Also, should I use the battery fully until it drains to zero, or plug it in before it discharges? Thanks.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1

the iphone battery designed in a way that you can plug in and charge any time even for a short while. but it is not good to charge over night( leave it plugged in after fully charged), this will reduce the battery life. it is advised to disharge once a month to below 20% and charge it to 100%. these tips are given by apps like battery doctor. you can download them in the app store.
