for the most part, there are no stupid questions..just good questions that are not asked

In most situations, you don't need night time heat. If your normal room temperature drops below 65F you may need supplementary heat, either a ceramic heat emitter or under tank heater (on a thermostat, so it doesn't get too hot). You don't need to raise the temp very high, just to 75F at the most, though 65-75F range is fine. As most room temps fall within that range, there is no need to heat things up at night.

Also, it is best to put UVB and basking lights on a timer, so lights come on and off at the same time each day. THis way you don't have to worry about getting up early to turn lights on at the same time every day, or even being at home in the evening to turn the off again.
