Patek Philippe

Beginners Question

 

When I wear my Patek automatic (self-winding) watch just for an evening, and I place it on my night table over night, when I awake in the morning, it's not ticking anymore.                                                     Is this normal?  If so what can I do to make sure it continues running through the night?  I am always nervous to manually wind it, as I have read that over winding can harm the movement; If I do manually wind it, how do I know when to stop?

Thanks for your help!
