If you have that much trouble keeping the humidity up I would let the humidifier cycle during the night as well. BUT, set it so it does not run as much (maybe one cycle after midnight), as there aren't lights or heat spots drying the cage then. It is tricky to keep the cage really humid at night, but in that dry a climate (been there done that) you may need to. You just don't want the cage to be sopping wet for hours at a time. As long as there is some air exchange and the surfaces of perches and foliage get a chance to dry you should be OK. You might want to buy one of those hygrometers that records the min/max of humidity so you can see what level it actually gets to at night and adjust your cycles if needed.
