In theory, yes.

You can continue to have it hidden for now, unhide it before you turn your PC off, and then hide it again once everything's connected tomorrow.

Consider this though.....

You hide the SSID to stop people seeing your wireless connection.....
You turn the hiding option off overnight.....
Unless you turn the router off as well people will be able to see the SSID being broadcast overnight, and as you'll be asleep you'll be even less likely to know if someone is using your connection
The router is off as soon as i turn everything off at the mains, i have a plug bank you see so it runs off of that.
