Most of the time I almost deplete my phone's battery before sleeping. Actuall, always. But I am curious if I can leave it charging overnight. Because I want it to be on-the-go the moment I wake up. 

Knowing well that I have an original charging cable and adapter.

So, is it OKAY to leave my smartphone charging overnight? Will it have any damage on my smartphone?

If you are intent on charging it overnight, turn it off. Much safer.

The thing is, the battery component is the one that degrades from bad charging practices. Replace that and your good to go.

Hey there, Raenard! I'm Sam, your friendly Samsung Customer Service guy. Your fellow members are correct as per your concern. ‌‌ Modern chargers nowadays do have an auto-shut off feature which prevents over-charging of your battery. You may observe this by having your device charged, let it continue even after it's full charged, then try to touch the adapter as it is NOT that hot compared when the device still charges. Nevertheless, we do not advise to let a device be left while charging and/or be left plugged overnight as the electricity continues to run.

Also, charging while your device is on your bed/under your pillow may cause serious injury/fire incident due to insufficient ventilation and too much heat build up.  Class A/fake wall chargers may also contribute to battery damage of your device due to inaccurate power output which prolongs your charging time, and will further decrease battery lifespan.
