I would firstly put the gecko on some sort of paper towel, slate, or tile. You said the temperature was much less at night..how much less is it? How big/old is your gecko? How are you taking these temperatures (thermometers stuck to the glass are not measuring the heat you want to measure)? How do you know it hasn't shed? Where did you get the gecko in the first place, as there are things to consider from that as well (what they were feeding it, if it may have been bullied, and bugs it may have) Do you leave the heat pad on over night as well?

I'd cut down on handling, as that may be stressing the gecko out too much. I'd also try getting some fluids into the gecko via syringe. If you drop a drop close to one of it's nostrils, it should lick it up and repeat the process.
