My Macbook Air keeps shutting itself down at night

Question

My Macbook Air keeps shutting itself down at night

Just to be clear, I'm not very computer savy...

I bought the 2013 Macbook Air recently, and it keeps shutting down at night. When I wake up in the morning and open my computer, I sign in and it says "Your Macbook was shut down because of a problem" or something along those lines, and then gives me the option of sending a report. Is anyone suffering with the same problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

MacBook (13-inch)

So the mac shuts down at night for 2 reasons:

The mac has low battery

It is a device with a given battery life, and it might be low.

Thanks for your response. The thing is I have never drained my macbook battery. As a matter of fact, I usually close my laptop before I go to sleep with well more than fifty percent battery left . As for the second possible cause you mentioned, could you explain that more? Are you saying my mba came with a battery with a shorter life?

Yes. It might be a serious problem.
